CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD - DO NOT OPEN

AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOQUE ÉLECTRIQUE - NE PAS OUVRIR

The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within 

an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert you to the 

presence of uninsulated dangerous voltages within the 

product’s  enclosure  that  may  be  of  sufficient  magnitude  to 

constitute a risk of electric shock. 

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 appliance.
Un point d’exclamation dans un triangle équilatéral est destiné 
à alerter l’utilisateur de la présence d’instructions importantes 

sur  le  fonctionnement  et  l’entretien  (la  réparation)  dans  la 

documentation accompagnant l’appareil.

The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and it 

should remain readily accessible during intended use. In 

order to electrically isolate the apparatus from the mains, the 
mains plug should be completely removed from the mains 
outlet socket.
La prise du secteur ne doit pas être obstruée ou doit être 
facilement accessible pendant son utilisation. Pour être 
complètement déconnecté de l’alimentation d’entrée, la prise 
doit être débranchée du secteur.

 Meaning of the label: Evaluation for apparatus only 

based on temperate climate condition, therefore it’s 
the only operating condition applied for the 

equipment .There may be some potential safety hazard if the 

equipment is used in tropical climate region. 
L’évaluation pour les appareils est basée dans une condition 

climatique tempérée, donc c’est la seule condition de 

fonctionnement à appliquer pour l’appareil. Il peut y avoir un 

risque potentiel pour la sécurité si l’équipement est utilisé 
dans une région climatique tropical.

Meaning of the label: Evaluation for apparatus only 

based on altitude not exceeding 2000 m, therefore 
it’s the only operating condition applied for the 

equipment .There may be some potential safety hazard if the 

equipment is used at altitude above 2000 m.
L’évaluation pour les appareils est basée uniquement sur une 

altitude inférieure à 2000 m, donc c’est la seule condition de 

fonctionnement à appliquer pour l’appareil. Il peut y avoir un 

risque potentiel pour la sécurité si l’équipement est utilisé 
avec une altitude au-dessus de 2000 m.
