For U.S.A.

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.

Pour les Etats-Unis

Le symbole de l’éclair à l’intérieur d’un triangle équilatéral est
destiné à alerter l’utilisateur sur la présence d’une “tension
dangereuse” non isolée dans le boîtier du produit. Cette tension
est suffisante pour provoquer l’électrocution de personnes.

Le point d’exclamation à l’intérieur d’un triangle
équilatéral est destiné à alerter l’utilisateur sur la présence
d’opérations d’entretien importantes au sujet desquelles des
renseignements se trouvent dans le manuel d’instructions.

For U.S.A.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by party responsible

for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

–

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

–

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

–

which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Remarque: Cet appareil a été testé et il s’est avéré conforme aux limites
applicables à un appareil numérique de classe B, en vertu de la Partie 15
des Règles de la FCC. Ces limites sont conçues de manière à assurer une
protection raisonnable contre les interférences nuisibles dans une installation
résidentielle. Cet appareil produit, utilise et peut émettre une énergie de haute
fréquence et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé en conformité avec les instructions,
il peut causer des interférences nuisibles aux communications radio. Il n’y a,
toutefois, aucune garantie que des interférences ne se produiront pas dans une
installation particulière. Si cet appareil cause effectivement des interférences
nuisibles à la réception de la radio ou de la télévision, ce qu’on peut établir
en mettant l’appareil en marche et à l’arrêt, nous encourageons l’utilisateur à
tenter de corriger l’interférence par une ou plusieurs des mesures suivantes:

réorienter ou déplacer l’antenne de réception;

–

accroître la séparation entre l’appareil et le récepteur;

–

brancher l’appareil dans une prise ou un circuit autre que celui auquel le
