be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
Please read all of the safety and operating instructions
before operating this appliance. Adhere to all warnings on
the appliance and in the instruction manual. Follow all the
safety and operating instructions.
These safety and
operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.
1. Power sources ­ The appliance should be connected to
a power supply only of the type described in the instruction
manual or as marked on the appliance. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company. For appliances
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the instruction manual.
2. Power-cord protection ­ 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,
pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
3. CAUTION ­ Polarization ­ This appliance may be
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power 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.
4. Ventilation ­ Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The appliance
should be situated so that its location or position does not
interfere with its proper ventilation.

cloth on the appliance. Place the appliance at least 10 cm
away from the walls.
Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings.

manual. All other servicing should be referred to
qualified service personnel.
17.Outdoor antenna grounding ­ If an outside antenna
is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code
ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure.
18.Power lines ­ An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.
19.AC outlets ­ Do not connect other audio equipment
with a power consumption larger than that specified
to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never connect
other electrical appliances, such as an iron or toaster,
to it to prevent fire or electric shock.
20. Overloading ­ Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
21. Attachment ­ Do not use attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
22. Replacement parts ­ When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

to this appliance, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper
operating condition.
