equilateral triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of
uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute an electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of
important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the
appliance.

product near water – for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool
and the like.
8 Accessories – Do not place this product on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or
table. The product may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the product. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended
by the manufacturer or sold with the product.
Any mounting of the product should follow
the manufacturerís instructions and should use
a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9 A product and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force and uneven surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination to overturn.
10 Ventilation – Openings in the rear control
panel are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the product and
to prevent it from overheating, and these
openings must not be blocked or covered.
The panel itself forms part of the cooling
mechanism and must not be obscured by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. The product should not
be placed in a built-in installation, such as a
rack, bookcase or cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's
instructions have been adhered to.
11 Power Sources – This product should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label situated on
the rear panel above the power input socket.
If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company.
12 Grounding or Polarisation – The appliance is
not required to be grounded. Versions of the
product marked for use with 120V power
supplies are equipped with a power cord
fitted with a polarised alternating line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit onto 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 polarised plug. When using
an extension power-supply cord or a power-
supply cord other than that supplied with the
appliance, it should be fitted with the
appropriate moulded-on plugs and carry
safety approval appropriate to the country of
use.
12 Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed on
or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles
and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
13 Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or integral convenience
receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.
14 Non-use Periods – The power cord of the
appliance should be unplugged from the
outlet when left unused for a long period of
time.
15 Object and Liquid Entry – Never push
objects of any kind into this product 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 product.
16 Servicing – Do not attempt to service this
product yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

normal operation.

damaged in any way.

change in performance – this indicates a
need for service.

as the original part. Unauthorised
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock
