However, there is no guarantee  
that interference will not occur  
in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful  
interference to radio or television  
reception, which can be deter-  
mined by turning the equipment

Important Battery Precautions  
Do not expose product to rain and  
do not use near water; such as, sink,  
wet basement, swimming pools, etc.  
Always leave sufficient space around  
the product for ventilation. Do  
not place product in or on a bed,  
rug, bookcase or cabinet that may  
prevent air flow through vent open-  
ings.  
Changes or modifications not  
expressly approved by the party  
responsible for compliance could  
void the user’s authority to oper-  
ate the equipment.  
Any battery may present a risk of  
fire, explosion, or chemical burn  
if abused. Do not try to charge a  
battery that is not intended to be  
recharged, do not incinerate, and  
do not puncture.  
Non-rechargeable batteries, such as  
alkaline batteries, may leak if left in  
your product for a long period of  
time. Remove the batteries from the  
product if you are not going to use  
it for a month or more.  
If your product uses more than one  
battery, do not mix types and make  
sure they are inserted correctly.  
Mixing types or inserting incorrectly  
may cause them to leak.  
Discard any leaky or deformed bat-  
tery immediately. They may cause  
skin burns or other personal injury.  
Please help to protect the environ-  
ment by recycling or disposing of  
batteries according to federal, state,  
and local regulations.  
Never add accessories that the  
product has not been designed to  
accommodate.  
Use only the manufacturer’s ap-  
proved mounting instructions and  
hardware when installing product.  
Do not attempt to disassemble  
the cabinet. This product does not  
contain customer serviceable compo-  
nents.  
When service or repairs are com-  
pleted, ask the service technician to  
perform the safety check described  
in the service manual and to  
confirm that replacement parts have  
the same safety characteristics as  
the original parts.  
Overloading - Do not overload the  
wall outlets, extension cords or inte-  
gral convenience receptacles as this  
can result in a risk of fire or electric  
shock.  
For your records
