The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltages” within the product’s enclosure that may be of a sufficient level to cause harm.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions within the product literature.

Exposed portions of the power supply assembly are electrically live. To reduce risk of electric shock, the power cord must be disconnected when the power supply assembly is removed. For continued protection against electric shock, a correctly wired and grounded (earthed) three-pin power outlet must be used. Do not use a groundlifting adapter and never cut the ground pin on the three-prong plug. The ground terminal of the power plug is connected directly to the chassis of the unit.
