Warning
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used •
as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall 
remain readily operable.
Warning
Never remove the casing of this unit. •
Never lubricate any par t of this unit.•
Place this unit on a fl at, hard and stable surface.•
Never place this unit on other electrical equipment.•
Only use this unit indoors. Keep this unit away from •
water, moisture and liquid-fi lled objects.
Keep this unit away from direct sunlight, naked fl ames 
•
or heat. 
Never look into the laser beam inside the unit.
•
Wall mounting of the unit should only be 
performed by qualifi ed personnel. The unit 
must only be mounted on an appropriate wall 
bracket and on a wall that can safely hold the 
weight of the unit. Improper wall mounting 
can result in severe injur y or damage. Do not

Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
Using headphones at a high volume can  •
impair your hearing. This product can 
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may 
cause hearing loss for a normal person, 
even for exposure less than a minute. The 
higher decibel ranges are offered for those 
that may have already experienced some 
hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your  •
hearing ‘comfor t level’ adapts to higher 
volumes of sound. So after prolonged 
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually 
be loud and harmful to your hearing. To 
guard against this, set your volume to a safe 
level before your hearing adapts and leave 
it there. q  Do not place any sources of danger on 
the apparatus (e.g. liquid fi lled objects, 
lighted candles). 
r  This product may contain lead and 
mercury. Disposal of these materials 
may be regulated due to environmental 
considerations. For disposal or recycling 
information, please contact your local 
authorities or the Electronic Industries 
Alliance: www.eiae.org.
Caution
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of •
procedures other than herein may result in hazardous 
radiation exposure or other unsafe operation.
Know these safety symbols  
This ‘bolt of lightning’ indicates uninsulated 
material within your unit may cause an electrical 
shock. For the safety of ever yone in your

covering. 
The ‘exclamation point’ calls attention to 
features for which you should read the enclosed 
literature closely to prevent operating and 
maintenance problems. 
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fi re or electric 
shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to 
rain or moisture and objects fi lled with liquids, 
such as vases, should not be placed on this 
apparatus. 
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match 
wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully inser t.
