•
Do not spill food or liquids on your system components and never operate the product in a wet
environment.
•
Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock by shorting out interior components.
•
Position system cables and power supply cable carefully. Route system cables and power supply cable
and plug such that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing else rests on your
system component cables or power cable.
•
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
•
If you turn off your system, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it on again to avoid system component
damage.
