Read This Before You Begin
When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including
the following:

This device must be installed and used in strict accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions, as described in the user documentation that is included with the device.
Comply with all warning and caution statements in the instructions. Observe all warning
and caution symbols that are affixed to this device.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this device to rain or moisture. The device
must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, on the device.
This device was qualified under test conditions that included the use of the supplied
cables between system components. To ensure regulatory and safety compliance, use
only the provided power and interface cables and install them properly.
Different types of cord sets may be used for connections to the main POWER supply
circuit. Use only a main line cord that complies with all applicable device safety
requirements of the country of use.
Installation of this device must be in accordance with national wiring codes and conform
to local regulations.
Operate this device only from the type of power source indicated on the device’s marking

wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.
Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords where they are attached to
plugs and convenience receptacles, and examine the point where they exit from the
