RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
IMPORTANT! FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
WATER AND MOISTURE: Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Do not use this apparatus near water (in a wet basement,
near a swimming pool, bathtub etc). Care should be taken so that liquids are not spilled or splashed onto the unit. Do not place
objects filled with liquids such as beverage containers on this apparatus.

or power inlet is the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.
PLACEMENT: Do not block ventilation openings. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other products
that produce heat. Do not install in a confined area. Use only mounting hardware such as brackets and tripods recommended
by the manufacturer.
SERVICING: The user should not attempt to service the unit. All servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
FUSING: If your unit is equipped with a fuse receptacle, replace only with the same type fuse. Refer to replacement text on
the unit for correct fuse type.
This symbol is intended to alert
the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient mag-
nitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servic-
ing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.

HELP SECTION
1) UNIT WILL NOT TURN ON: Check the power to the AC cord. Check for tripped circuit breakers,
unplugged extension cords or power-strip switches that may be turned off. Check the fuse or circuit breaker
on the unit if available. If the fuse has been replaced with the proper value and the fuse fails again, or the
internal circuit breaker activates after reset, the unit will require servicing.
2) NO OUTPUT with POWER light ON: Shipping damage will be the primary reason for your product to not
function properly. Please give us a call to help you determine the problem.
3) KEEP YOUR UNIT LOOKING NEW: Use only a dry cloth to wipe the control and venting areas. Surfaces
without openings may be cleaned with a damp cloth.
