Precautions

J

Before

using

this

unit

please

read

these

operating

instructions

carefully.

Take

special

care

to

follow

the

warnings

indicated

on

the

unit

itself

as

well

as

the

safety

suggestions

listed

below.

Afterwards

keep

them

handy

for

reference.

Safety

1.

Power

Source

-

The

unit

should

be

connected

to

power

supply

only

of

the

type

described

in

the

operating

instructions

or

as

marked

on

the

2.

Polarization

--

If

the

unit

is

equipped

with

a

polarized

AC

power

plug

(a

plug

having

one

blade

wider

than

the

other),

that

plug

will

fit

into

the

AC

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.

3.

Power

Cord

Protection

--

AC

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.

Never

take

hold

of

the

plug

or

cord

if

your

hand

is

wet,

and

always

grasp

the

plug

body

when

connecting

or

disconnecting

it.

4.
