when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
See gure:
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be

only from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instruction.
12. Grounding or Polarization - This product may
be equipped with a polarized alternating-current
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will t into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable

service personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain, water
or moisture.
d) If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualied technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.

headphones can cause hearing loss.
Des pressions acoustiques excessives provenant
d’écouteurs ou de casques peuvent provoquer des
pertes de l’audition.
28. To prevent re or shock hazard, do not use this
plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other
outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to
prevent blade exposure.
