WARNING
: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all of the Safety and Installation Instructions and Explanation of

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a power supply cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet which is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not modify the plug provided with
the product-if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Do
not use an adaptor which defeats the function of the
equipment-grounding conductor. If you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded, check with a qualified serviceman or electrician.
3. Do not use this product near water-for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, or the like.

or headphones, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause
permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long priod of time at a high
volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any
hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.
6. The product should be located so that its location or position does not
interfere with its proper ventilation.
7. This product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, or other products that produce heat.
8. This product should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the product.
9. This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider
than be other). This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact an
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
10. The power supply cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet
when left unused for a long period of time. When unplugging the power
supply cord, do not pull on the cord, but grasp it by the plug.
11. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure through openings.
12. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the product;
C. The product has been exposed to rain;
D. The product does not appear to be operating normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance;
E. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

maintenance instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified
service personnel.
