that warn of potential hazards with electrical products. The
lightning flash with arrowpoint in an equilateral triangle means
that there are dangerous voltages present within the unit. The
exclamation point in an equilateral triangle indicates that it is
necessary for the user to refer to the owner’s manual.
These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside
the unit. Do not open the unit. Do not attempt to service the unit
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. Opening the
chassis for any reason will void the manufacturer’s warranty. Do
not get the unit wet. If liquid is spilled on the unit, shut it off
immediately and take it to a dealer for service. Disconnect the
