Do not install the product where it is exposed to strong  
vibrations or is unstable.  
Observe the following cautions when using this

heat.  
Otherwise these will raise the interior temperature of the unit,  
and it may lead to smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit.  
Do not use the product where it is exposed to water,  
moisture, or dust.  
Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to  
smoke, fire, or other damage to the unit. Make especially sure  
that the unit does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other  
rights which vary from state to state. If a problem with this product

er or Servicenter. If the problem is not handled to your satisfaction, then  
write to warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department at the addresses of the
