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.

6Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

7Water 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.

8Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow

the manufacturerís instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10Ventilation – Openings in the rear control panel are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to prevent it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The panel itself forms part of the cooling mechanism and must not be obscured by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. 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.

11Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label situated on the rear panel above the power input socket. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

12Grounding or Polarisation – The appliance is not required to be grounded. Versions of the product marked for use with 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.

12Power 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.

13Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

14Non-use Periods – The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

15Object 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.

16 Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17 Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions:

aWhen the power-supply cord or plug has been damaged.

bIf liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the appliance.

cIf the product has been exposed to rain or water.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

eIf the product has been dropped, or damaged in any way.

fWhen the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

18 Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorised substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
