triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
1.
Read Instructions All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2.
Retain Instructions The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3.
Heed Warnings All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.
Follow Instructions All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5.
Cleaning Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet
before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
6.
Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
7.
Water and Moisture Do not use the appliance near water
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool;
and the like.
8.
Accessories Do not place the appliance on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of
the appliance should follow the manufacturer's
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
9.
An appliance and cart
combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
10. 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
openings should never be blocked by placing the
appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The
appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided. There should be free space of at least 5 cm and
an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power Sources The appliance should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company.
12. Grounding or Polarization The 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.
13. 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, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
14. Lightning For added protection for the appliance during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line
surges.
15. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the appliance.
17. Servicing Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the appliance form
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the appliance to its
normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
19. 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 part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
20. Safety Check Upon completion of any service or repairs
to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper
operation condition.
21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
22. Heat The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
