USING THE UNIT SAFELY
 WARNING
Use only the supplied AC adaptor and the 
correct voltage
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor 
supplied with the unit. Also, 
make sure the line voltage at the 
installation matches the input 
voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. 
Other AC adaptors may use a different 
polarity, or be designed for a different 
voltage, so their use could result in damage, 
malfunction, or electric shock.
