- Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
- Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
- In cases where the apparatus is not provided with a switch to disconnect it from the AC mains power supply, disconnect the apparatus fully by switching off the mains wall outlet or removing the power plug from the receptacle.

- Loudspeaker drive units produce stray magnetic fields. Do not place any article that may be damaged by such a magnetic field (audio and video tapes, credit and other swipe cards and the like) within 0.5m (2 feet) of the apparatus. The magnetic field will cause distortion of pictures on cathode ray televisions and computer monitors. Plasma, LED and OLED screens are not affected.
