    Protective earthing terminal. The apparatus should be connect
ed to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Voltage selector: Used to adjust the input rating (120 Vac/60 Hz a
nd 230 Vac/50 Hz), please just insert the mains power plug into t
he socket-outlet with voltage within the setting of the selector. T
he current ratings of mains fuse links are different for different in
put rating (see marking for details), and the fitted mains fuse link 
was just related to the input rating as setting of the selector during 
factory assembly line work, please ask a qualified personnel to he
lp you replace the mains fuse link before you adjust the voltage 
selector.  

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 eq
uilateral triangle. is intended to alert the user to the pre
sence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the pro
duct’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
