enclosure.Thismaycauseanaccidentalre,electricshockorfailure.

• Unplug the unit when not in use for an extended period of time.

• Consult a service technician if the AP-3500 does not operate normally when you have

followed the instructions in this manual.

• Donotattempttorepairthisproductyourself.Alwaysgetaqualiedservicetechnicianto

carry out adjustments or repairs.

onethatisdifferentthantheoneprovidedbythesupplier,makesurethatitiscertiedby

the local and applicable national standards. If the power cable is faulty in any way, please

contact the manufacturer or the nearest authorized repair service provider for a replacement.

• The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket outlet

is easily accessible after installation.

• Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, and broken plugs are

extremelydangerous.Theymay,andcan,resultinanelectricalshockorrehazard.Callan

authorized service technician for any replacements.

• Hands must be dry when plugging in the power cord into an AC outlet to prevent electrical

shock. Do not damage the power cord by disassembling, bending, pulling or exposing it to

heatasitmaycauseareorelectricalshock.

• Makesuretocompletelyinsertthepowerplug.Insecureconnectionscancauseres.
