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 electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has

two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. The power plug at the wall must remain accessible to be able to disconnect power from the

apparatus.

11. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

12. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

13. Use only with the 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.

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

15. 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.

16. This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no object filled with liquid,

such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

17. This apparatus has been designed with Class-I construction and must be connected to a mains

socket outlet with a protective earthing connection (the third grounding prong).

18. This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is applicable) limits for radio

noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the
Canadian Department of Communications.

ATTENTION:

Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant las

limites applicables aux appareils numériques de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites
dans le règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere des communications
du Canada.
