Explanation of Graphical Symbols
Explication des symboles

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.

L’éclair avec une flèche à l’intérieur d’un triangle équilatéral est destiné à attirer l’attention de l’utilisa­teur sur la présence d’une « tension dangereuse » non isolée à l’intérieur de l’appareil, pouvant être suffi­samment élevée pour constituer un risque d’électrocution.

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 product.

Le point d’exclamation à l’intérieur d’un triangle équilatéral est destiné à attirer l’attention de l’utilisa­teur sur la présence d’instructions importantes sur l’emploi ou la maintenance (réparation) de l’appareil
dans la documentation fournie.

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

ATTENTION :

POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES D'ÉLECTROCUTION, NE PAS RETIRER

LE CAPOT (OU LE DOS). NE CONTIENT PAS DE PIÈCES NÉCESSITANT

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampli-

fiers) that produce heat.

9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with

one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or
the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold

with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combi-

nation to avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus

has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has

been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to

rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOIS­TURE.

PRÉCAUTIONS CONCERNANT LA SÉCURITÉ

1 Lire ces instructions.
2 Conserver ces instructions.
3 Tenir compte de tous les avertissements.
4 Suivre toutes les instructions.
5 Ne pas utiliser ce produit à proximité d’eau.
6 Nettoyer uniquement avec un chiffon propre et sec.
7 Ne pas bloquer les orifices de ventilation. Installer l’appareil conformément aux instructions du fabricant.
8 Ne pas installer l’appareil à proximité d’une source de chaleur comme un radiateur, une bouche de chaleur, un

poêle ou tout autre appareil (y compris un amplificateur) produisant de la chaleur.

9 Ne pas modifier le système de sécurité de la fiche polarisée ou de la fiche de terre. Une fiche polarisée dispose de

deux broches dont une est plus large que l’autre. Une fiche de terre dispose de deux broches et d’une troisième
pour le raccordement à la terre. Cette broche plus large ou cette troisième broche est destinée à assurer la sécuri­té de l’utilisateur. Si la fiche équipant l’appareil n’est pas compatible avec les prises de courant disponibles, faire
remplacer les prises par un électricien.

10 Acheminer les cordons d’alimentation de sorte qu’ils ne soient pas piétinés ni coincés, en faisant tout spéciale-

ment attention aux fiches, prises de courant et au point de sortie de l’appareil.
11 Utiliser exclusivement les fixations et accessoires spécifiés par le fabricant.
12 Utiliser exclusivement le chariot, le stand, le trépied, le support ou la table recommandés par

le fabricant ou vendus avec cet appareil. Si l’appareil est posé sur un chariot, déplacer le

chariot avec précaution pour éviter tout risque de chute et de blessure.
13 Débrancher l’appareil en cas d’orage ou lorsqu’il doit rester hors service pendant une pério-

de prolongée.
14 Confier toute réparation à un personnel qualifié. Faire réparer l’appareil s’il a subi tout dom-

mage, par exemple si la fiche ou le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé, si du liquide a

coulé ou des objets sont tombés à l’intérieur de l’appareil, si l’appareil a été exposé à la pluie ou à de l’humidité, si

l’appareil ne fonctionne pas normalement ou est tombé.
