WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed when handling the
GLO T5 HO High Output Linear Fluorescent Lighting System including the following:
1. For the complete enjoyment, use and understanding of this
product READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and all
important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so
may result in damage to the unit.
WARNING: This appliance is NOT waterproof and MUST be protected
from coming in contact with water.
2. DANGER – To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should
be taken since water can be in close proximity to this equipment.
For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs
yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for
service or discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance falls into the water, DON'T reach for it! First
unplug it and then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the
appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be
plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged electrical
cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged
in any manner. The electrical cord of this appliance cannot be
replaced: if the electrical cord is damaged, the appliance should
be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting
wet, position the appliance to one side of a wall mounted receptacle
to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip
loop" (see illustration A) should be arranged by the user for the cord
connecting appliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is that part
of the cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector if an
extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle
does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in receptacle.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating
should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the
appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange
the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
E. This fluorescent lighting system is supplied with a grounded
plug and must only be connected to a properly grounded
receptacle.

near children.
4. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as
heaters, reflectors and lamp bulbs.
5. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before
