Explanation of Graphical

Symbols:

The lightning flash within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert you to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNINGS:

1Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated by the marking situated on the rear panel. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

6Grounding or Polarisation – The appliance is not required to be

grounded. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet or extension cord receptacle to prevent blade or pin exposure. Versions of the product marked for use with 110V – 120V power supplies are equipped with a power cord fitted with a polarised alternating line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit onto the power 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 polarised plug. When using an extension power-supply cord or a power-supply cord other than that supplied with the appliance, it should be fitted with the appropriate moulded-on plugs and carry safety approval appropriate to the country of use.

7Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the appliance.

8Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

9Ventilation – The amplifier panel at the rear of the product forms part of the cooling mechanism and must not be obscured by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Ensure the heat sink fins are aligned vertically to ensure proper cooling. The product should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a rack, bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

11Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

12Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool and the like.

13Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Do not place any object containing liquid on top of the product.
