5 Objects and liquid entry - Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

6 Carts and stands- When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit or cart to overturn or fall.

7 Condensation - Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

-the unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

-the heating system has just been turned on

8 Wall or ceiling mounting - The unit should not be mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the operating instructions.

Electric Power

1 Power sources - Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

-When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

-Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.
