1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a

bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet

basement.

2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not

interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a

3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves or other appliances (including ampliﬁers) that produce heat.

described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. Only use

the AC adapter that came with the unit.

5. Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are

unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the

product due to lightning and power-line surges.

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of ﬁre or electric shock.

described in the user’s operating instructions. Service methods not covered in the

operating instructions should be referred to qualiﬁed service personnel.

14. Magnetic Interference: This product’s speakers contain powerful magnets which
