Safety Instructions
The appliance must be grounded. The Orion 410ST NAS System is
equipped with a 3-wire grounded type of power cord. This power
cord will only fit into a grounded type of power outlet.
If an extension cord or a power center is used with the Orion 410ST
NAS System, make sure that the total current consumption of all
products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the ampere
rating.
Do not place the Orion 410ST NAS System where the cord will be
walked on.
Never push any object into the Orion 410ST NAS System through
cabinet gaps and openings, since it may touch dangerous voltage
points and cause a risk of fire or electric shock.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning. Keep the
Orion 410ST NAS System dry. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol
cleaners, or a wet cloth. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Except as specifically explained in this User Manual, do not attempt
to service the Orion 410ST NAS System by yourself. Opening or
removing the covers may expose you to dangerous voltages.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to quali-
fied service personnel under the following conditions.
• If the Orion 410ST NAS System has been exposed to water or
any liquid.
• If the Orion 410ST NAS System has been dropped or the cabinet
damaged.
Users should not remove the cover of the Orion 410ST NAS System.
Disconnect all power supply cords before servicing, and only autho-
rized personnel should perform servicing tasks.
