WARNING - When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before using the product.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children.
3. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, in a wet
basement or near a swimming poor or the like.
4. This product in combination with headphones or an amplifier, may be capable of producing sound
levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at high volume
level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you
should consult an audiologist.
5. This product should be located so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation.
6. This product should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers or other
products that produce heat.
7. The product should be connected to a power supply only of the type described on the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.
8. This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider than the other). This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
9. The power-supply cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a
long period of time. When unplugging the power-supply cord, do not pull on the cord, but grasp it by
the plug.
10. Care should be taken so that object do not fall and liquid are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
11. The product should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the product; or
C. The product has been exposed to rain; or
D. The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The product has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
12. Do not attempt to service the product beyond that described in the user-maintenance instructions.
All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
13. WARNING - Do not place objects on the product's power cord or place it in a position where anyone
could trip over, walk on or roll anything over it. Do not allow the product to rest on or to be installed over
power cords of any type. Improper installations of this type create the possibility of fire hazard and/or
personal injury.
In the event of breakdown, contact the nearest NB: Whenever possible, use balanced cables. In any case, avoid
