be inserted only into a standard three-pin power
outlet which is effectively grounded through the
normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must
have three cores and be correctly wired to provide
connection to the ground. Wrongly wired extension
cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily
does not imply that the power outlet is grounded or
that the installation is completely safe. For your
safety, if you are in any doubt about the effective
grounding of the power outlet, please consult a
qualified electrician.
WARNING:
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this equipment to rain or moisture.

AC mains, disconnect the mains plug from the AC
receptacle.
CAUTION:
In order to maintain adequate ventilation, do not
install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in
cabinet or any other confined space. To prevent
risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to
overheating, ensure that curtains and any other
materials do not obstruct the ventilation.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock and
annoying interference, use the recommended
accessories only.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, refer
mounting of the optional interface boards to
qualified service personnel.
