the unit from the mains. To disconnect the unit from the  
mains, pull out the main cord plug or appliance coupler.  
When installing the product, make sure the plug or  
appliance coupler is readily operable. Unplug the power cord

permanent damage. Keep the volume at an appropriate  
level at all times.  
Never hold the microphone directly in front of the  
loudspeaker. Feedback hazard! When operating the device,  
keep the microphone behind the loudspeaker to  
avoid feedback.
