Explanation of Graphical Symbols Explication des symboles

The lightning ash 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 sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

L’éclair avec une èche 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 sufsamment 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.

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 ampliﬁers) 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

combination 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.
