Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources and do not block cooling vents.
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 cables carefully. Route system cables and the power supply
cable and plug so 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.
