this product.
Symbols and safety labels
Symbol
Meaning
Warning: General danger point
Shock hazard
Grounding
Cleaning
Follow the cleaning instructions contained in the Maintenance sections of this manual.
Attachments
Do not use attachments that are not approved by the product manufacturer.
Water and Molsture
This product is not water resistant. Do not use in conditions where condensation may exist.
The entry of water increases the risk of electric shock.
Grounding or Polarization
Do not bypass or defeat electrical plug polarization or grounding. Doing so will violate the
warranty and may pose a risk of fire or electrocution.
Wire Protection
Ensure all connected wiring is routed correctly to avoid damage including pinching,
excessive bends, or compression. Never use the product if the cable network connection is
damaged.
Electrical Supply, Grounding, and Surge Protection
Ensure that all local or national electrical codes are followed. The products of safety class I
with movable power and single plug can only be plugged into sockets with safety pin and
protective conductor connected.

RCS User Manual

The interruption of the protective conductor is prohibited in both the plug and the meter. The
disruption may result in the risk that the product is a source of electric shock.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or power strips as this may cause fire or
electric shock.
Power Lines
Always use caution and avoid operating this or any connected equipment near uninsulated
power lines or any other hazards.
Servicing
There are no user serviceable parts in this equipment. Do not attempt to service this product
or remove covers. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Follow the instructions in
this manual when replacing the fuses.
Heat
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Ventilation
Make sure the fans are not obstructed when placing the equipment in the rack, so that the
air can circulate.
