Safety information
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol
within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage within your shelf
system’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert you to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying your shelf system.
Invisible and hazardous laser radiation is
present when the disc try is open and
interlocks fail or are defeated. Avoid direct
exposure to beam.
ystem with iPo
CAUTION
DO NOT OPEN
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, reliable operation, and protection from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not
block the openings by placing your shelf system on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface.
Water and moisture
To prevent fire or shock hazard:
• Do not expose your shelf system to rain or moisture.
• Do not use your shelf system near water. For example, do not
use it near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
• Do not let water slash or drip onto your shelf system.
• Do not place objects containing liquids, such as vases, on top
of your shelf system.
