4.Follow Instructions - All operating and maintenance instructions should be followed.

5.Cleaning - Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Wipe the equipment with a clean soft cloth. If necessary, put a cloth in diluted neutral detergent and wring it well before wiping the equipment with it. Finally, clean the equipment with a clean dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids or pesticides as they may damage the product’s finish. When using chemically- treated cleaning cloths, observe those precautions accordingly.

6.Accessories - Do not use accessories not recommended in this manual as they may be hazardous. Always use specified connection cables. Connect devices correctly.

7.Water and Moisture - Hazard of electric shock - Do not use the equipment near water or in rainy/moist situations. Do not put a heater near this equipment.

8.Placing or Moving - Do not place on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The equipment may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the equipment. An equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.
