Do not use this unit near water; for example, near a bath tub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
The unit should be installed so that its location or position does not inter-
fere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on
a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block the ventilation open-
ings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet,
that may impede the flow of air through its ventilation openings.
The unit should be situated from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
The unit should be connected to a power supply outlet only of the voltage
and frequency marked on its rear panel.
The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles,
or where the cord exits from the unit.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Never use benzine,
thinner or other solvents for cleaning. Use only a soft damp cloth.
The power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the wall out-
let when it is to be unused for a long period of time.
Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not
spilled into the enclosure through any openings.
This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or
C. The unit has been exposed to rain or liquids of any kind; or
D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or
E. The device has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
