Power Sources
Your unit should be connected to a power source only of the voltage specified
in the owners manual or as marked on the unit. This unit has a polarized plug.
Do not use with an extension cord or receptacle unless the plug can be fully
inserted. Precautions should be taken so that the grounding scheme on the unit
is not defeated. An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to
a Mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection. Where the MAINS
plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.
Hazards
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or
table. The product may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious
damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when installing the product and use mounting
accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Only use attachments/accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
Equipment that is suspended overhead must use a secondary safeguard to prevent
personal injury in the event the primary mounting mechanism fails. Safety
eyebolts attached to the equipment and galvanized steel wire can be used
together to implement a failsafe mounting thus ensuring the safety of the
equipment and anyone positioned below the equipment.
Improper installation can result in bodily injury or death. If you are not
qualified to attempt the installation get help from a professional structural
rigger.
Note: Prolonged use of headphones at a high volume may cause health
damage to your ears.
The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water; no objects
filled with liquids should be placed on the apparatus.
Terminals marked with the “lightning bolt” are hazardous live; the external
wiring connected to these terminals require installation by an instructed
person or the use of ready made leads or cords.
Ensure that proper ventilation is provided around the appliance. Do not
install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. No naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
Power Cord
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
The AC supply cord should be routed so that it is unlikely that it will be
damaged. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly
at plugs. If the AC supply cord is damaged DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT. To
completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power
supply cord plug from the AC receptacle. The mains plug of the power supply
cord shall remain readily operable. Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Service
The unit should be serviced only by qualified service 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, requires battery pack replacement or has been dropped.
Disconnect power before servicing!
