Back cover

Do not place the unit on amplifiers or equipment that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below.

Safety

1.

Power Source—The unit should be connected to a power supply only

started

 

consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

 

of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the

 

 

unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,

Getting

2.

Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug

 

 

(a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the

 

 

AC 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 polarized plug.

 

3.

Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be routed so

 

 

that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon

 

 

or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet,

 

 

and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

 

4.

Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as

 

 

this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

 

5.

Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not being used, turn the power off.

 

 

When left unused for a long time, the unit should be unplugged from

 

 

the household AC outlet.

 

6.

Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the unit

 

 

manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
