CAUTION
LEGEND
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.
The lightning flash with an 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 sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.

Clean only with dry cloth.
THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NORMALLY ONLY REQUIRE A WIPE WITH A SOFT, DAMP, LINT-FREE CLOTH.
DO NOT USE PAINT THINNER OR OTHER CHEMICAL SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING.
Opening of the product chassis.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE; THE PRODUCT CHASSIS SHOULD ONLY BE OPENED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSE (EXCEPT FOR OPPOSITE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
USER’S MANUAL).
Technical Maintenance.
Refer all servicing to qualified maintenance personnel. Servicing is required when
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord 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.
THE QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL MUST TAKE REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS TO FACE THE
OBVIOUS DANGERS.
Powers sources.
Only connect the apparatus to a power supply of the described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the apparatus.
Turning off the power switch does not completely isolate this product from the power
line so remove the plug from the socket if not using it for extended period of time.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms.
Power cord protection.
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and
plugs, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
Grounding.
WARNING: THIS APPARATUS SHALL BE CONNECTED TO A MAINS SOCKET OUTLET WITH A
PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONNECTION.
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL GROUND AND THE POWER CORD IS
DESIGNED FOR THAT.
Linked first of all the mechanical mass (present gudgeon M4 at the rear of the
equipment). The product must be connected with an earth of protection by a green /
yellow cable with a section at least equal to 0.75 mm² with a round pod diameter 4 mm
containing a double setting and preservation on the ground wire.
