7 Wall or ceiling mounting -- The unit should not be mounted
on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating
Instructions.

Electric Power
1 Power sources -- Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on
the unit.
2 Polarization -- As a safety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted
one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to
insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over
and try again. If it is not still inserted easily into the outlet,
please call a qualified service technician to service or replace
the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized
plug, do not force it into a power outlet.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the
AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this
could result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being severely
bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
the cord from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond
their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
