The lightning flash with arrowhead synbol within anequilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure,
that may beof sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operation and
maintenace (servicing) instructionin theliteratureaccompanying
the appliance.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THERISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE COVER ( OR BACK)
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIEDPERSONNEL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Please see below basic protection proceeding before using:
1. Please read all the safety instruction before using the product.
2. This product must be earthed. If it should be malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes
and ordinance.
DANGER- Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualif ied electri cian or servi ceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. 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.
3. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children.
4. Do not use thi s product nea r water-for e xample, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in wet basement or near a
swimming pool or the lake.
5. This product may be capable of producing sound levels that cloud cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate
for a long period of time at 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. This 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. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described on the operation instructions or as
marked on the product.
9. This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider than the 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 object do not fall and liquid are not spilled into the enclosure through opening.
12.The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have been fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the product; or
C. The product has been exposed to rain; or
D. The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The product has been dropped or the enclosure damaged..
13.Do not attempt to service the product beyond that described in the user-maintenance instructions. All other
servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
14. WARNING- Do not place objects on the product's power cord or place it in a position where anyone could trip
over, walk on or roll anything over it. Do not allow the product to rest on or to be installed over power cords of any
type. Improper installations of this type create the possibility of fire hazard and/or personal injury.
