they exit from the apparatus.

11. 

ONLY USE attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.  

 

12. 

USE ONLY with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is  

used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.  

 

13. 

UNPLUG this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. 

14. 

REFER all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as  

power-supply cord or plug 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. 

15.

16. 

To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle. 

17. 

Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily 

operable.  

18. 

DO NOT overload wall outlets or extension cords beyond their rated capacity as this can cause electric shock or fire.

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 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 electrical shock to 

persons. 

ESD Warning: The icon to the left indicates text regarding potential danger associated with the discharge of static electricity from an 

outside  source (such as human hands) into an integrated circuit, often resulting in damage to the circuit. 

WARNING:   To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. 

WARNING:   No naked flame sources - such as candles - should be placed on the product. 
WARNING:  Equipment shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
