carefully before installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for future
reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the

1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet
basement.
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not
interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a

should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which
may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. Only use
the AC adapter that came with the unit.
5. Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. It is
always best to have a clear area from where the cable exits the unit to where it is
plugged into an AC socket.
