Please make sure to follow these instructions to keep your EXO monitors and yourself unharmed and running.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to open the unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service the equipment yourself.
This unit should be connected to a grounded power outlet. If you use extension cords and power distributors they should be grounded as well.
