Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your FL8550 has been designed for use with 120-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service depot with cords meeting factory specifications.

CAUTION: The FL8550 uses a Laser System. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not open the cabinet enclosure or defeat any of the safety mechanisms provided for your protec- tion. DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM. To ensure proper use of this pro- duct, please read this Owner’s Manual carefully and retain it for future use. Should the unit require maintenance or repair, please contact your local Harman Kardon Service Station. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Installation Location

■To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level sur- face. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.

■Make certain that proper space is pro- vided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is suffi- cient air movement within the cabinet.
