not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided. Do not place directly on other hot
equipment that may increase its operating temperature.
lPower Sources -This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply you plan to use consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. For units intended to operated from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
lGrounding or Polarization -This unit may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
lAlternately this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin.
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding-type plug.
lPower-Cord Protection -Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
lPower Lines -An outdoor system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outdoor system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits. When installing an outdoor
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.
lOverloading -Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
