The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert
the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been

damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into

the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally

or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure

damaged.

17. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the
