An appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
The lightning flash with arrow head symbol, within an equi-
lateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is in-
tended to alert the user to the presence of important operat-
ing and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.

POUR PREVENIR LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, NE
PAS UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISEE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE
AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES
PEUVENT ETRE INSEREES A FOND SANS EN LAIS-
SER AUCUNE PARTIE A DECOUVERT.
1. Read Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings—All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions—All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning—Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleansers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments that are not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture—Do not use this product near water—for example, near
a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a
swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories—Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting
of the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination
to overturn.
10. Ventilation—Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and
to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been
adhered to.
11. Power Sources—This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For
products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization—This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Alternate Warnings—If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, the plug will only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12 a. Mise à la terre ou Polarisation—Cet appareil est équipé avec un cordon
d'alimentation à trois fils. Il est a brancher sur une prise ayant un connecteur a la
terre. Assurez-vous que la connection a la terre ne manque pas.
13. Power-Cord Protection—Power-supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
15. Lightning—For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines—An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits, where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact
with them may be fatal.
17. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry—Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
19. Servicing—Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service—Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal
operation,
e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a
need for service.
21. Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutes may
result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
22. Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in
proper operating condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
24. Heat—The product should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT'S AC ADAPTER OR
AMPLIFIER TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT OPEN
THE CABINET, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL ONLY.
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THE AC
ADAPTER WITH AN EXTENSION CORD RECEPTACLE
OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES OF THE AC
ADAPTER CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT
BLADE EXPOSURE.
