SAFETY AND SET-UP____________________________
7 This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use
is expressly prohibited.
7 Protect the device from moisture (water drops or splashes). Do not
place any vessels such as vases on the device. These may be knocked
over and spill fluid on the electrical components, thus presenting a
safety risk.
