5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer‘s
instructions.
8) Do not use near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polar-
ized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has
two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are pro-
vided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an elec-
trician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, con-
venience receptacles and the points where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufac-
turer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-overs.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is dam-
aged, liquid has been spilled or objects fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Safety Instructions
CAUTION:
• These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel
only. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any servic-
ing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you
are qualified to do so.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this re-
ceiver/amplifier to rain or moisture.

Safety Instructions
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference when the equip-
ment is operated in a commercial environment. This equip-
ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency en-
ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residen-
tial area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.
