not use liquid aerosol detergents; use a water-dampened cloth
for cleaning.
3. Do not use this device in humid or wet places.
4. Keep enough space around the device for ventilation. Slots and
openings on the device should not be blocked.
5. It is highly recommended to connect the device to a surge
protector to protect from damage caused by electrical surges. It
is also recommended to connect the device (or surge protector)
to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which has an internal
battery to keep the device running in case of a power outage.
CAUTION
Maintain electrical safety. Non battery powered equipment or
accessories connected to this device should bear the UL
listing mark or CSA certication mark on the accessory itself
and should not be modied so as to cancel out the safety
features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from
electrical shock or re. If in doubt, contact qualied service
personnel.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
1. Read and Follow Instructions - Read all safety and operating
instructions before setting up and using the device. Follow all
operating instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - Keep these safety and operating
instructions for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Follow all warnings on the device and in the
operating instructions.
4. Polarization - Polarized plugs and grounding plugs have
different style blades. Be sure you are plugging the correct plug
into the appropriate outlet. The wide blade or the third prong
is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician to replace the outlet.
• A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other.
• A grounding plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong.
5. Power Sources - This device 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 supplied to your location, consult
your local power company.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords
as this increases the risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded
AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or
cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They
may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the
cord,and, if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced.

connected to a surge protector. Doing so will protect the device

keep it running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible
power supplies should bear the UL listing mark or CSA
certification mark.
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case provide ventilation
for reliable device operation and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings

installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation
is provided and all of these instructions and cautions have been
followed.
