This symbol is intended to alert the user of important 

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in 

the literature provided with the equipment. 

This  symbol  is  intended  to  alert  the  user  of  the 

presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within 

the product’s enclosure that may present a risk of 

electric shock. 

Caution

Read

 

Instructions • 

Read and understand all safety and operating 

instructions before using the equipment. 

Retain Instructions • 

The safety instructions should be kept for future 

reference.

Follow Warnings • 

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the 

equipment or in the user information.

Avoid Attachments • 

Do not use tools or attachments that are not 

recommended by the equipment manufacturer because they may be 

hazardous. 

Warning

Power sources • 

This equipment should be operated only from the power source 

indicated on the product. This equipment is intended to be used with a main power 

system with a grounded (neutral) conductor. The third (grounding) pin is a safety 

feature, do not attempt to bypass or disable it. 

Power disconnection • 

To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power 

cords from the rear of the equipment, or the desktop power module (if detachable), 

or from the power source receptacle (wall plug).

Power cord protection • 

Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be 

stepped on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. 

Servicing • 

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside. To prevent the risk of shock, do not attempt to service 

this equipment yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to 

dangerous voltage or other hazards. 

Slots and openings • 

If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are 

provided to prevent overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings 

must never be blocked by other objects. 

Lithium battery • 

There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly 

replaced. Replace it only with the same or equivalent type recommended by 

the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s 

instructions.

Ce  symbole  sert  à  avertir  l’utilisateur  que  la 

documentation fournie avec le matériel contient des 

instructions importantes concernant l’exploitation et 

la maintenance (réparation).

Ce symbole sert à avertir l’utilisateur de la présence 

dans le boîtier de l’appareil de  tensions dangereuses 

non isolées posant des risques d’électrocution.

Attention

Lire les instructions• 

Prendre connaissance de toutes les consignes de 

sécurité et d’exploitation avant d’utiliser le matériel.

Conserver les instructions•

Ne pas utiliser de pièces de fixation ni d’outils 

non recommandés par le fabricant du matériel car cela risquerait de poser 

certains dangers.

Avertissement

Alimentations• 

Ne faire fonctionner ce matériel qu’avec la source d’alimentation 

indiquée sur l’appareil. Ce matériel doit être utilisé avec une alimentation principale 

comportant un fil de terre (neutre). Le troisième contact (de mise à la terre) constitue 

un dispositif de sécurité : n’essayez pas de la contourner ni de la désactiver.

Déconnexion de l’alimentation• 

Pour mettre le matériel hors tension sans danger,

maintenance par un technicien qualifié. Aucun des éléments internes ne peut être 

réparé par l’utilisateur. Afin d’éviter tout danger d’électrocution, l’utilisateur ne doit 

pas essayer de procéder lui-même à ces opérations car l’ouverture ou le retrait des 

couvercles risquent de l’exposer à de hautes tensions et autres dangers.

Fentes et orifices • 

Si le boîtier de l’appareil comporte des fentes ou des orifices, ceux-ci 

servent à empêcher les composants internes sensibles de surchauffer. Ces ouvertures 

ne doivent jamais être bloquées par des objets.

Lithium Batterie • 

Il a danger d’explosion s’ll y a remplacment incorrect de la batterie. 

Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du meme type ou d’un ype equivalent

Dieses  Symbol  soll  dem  Benutzer  in  der  im 

Lieferumfang  enthaltenen  Dokumentation 

besonders  wichtige  Hinweise  zur  Bedienung  und 

Wartung (Instandhaltung) geben.

Dieses Symbol soll den Benutzer darauf aufmerksam 

machen,  daß  im  Inneren  des  Gehäuses  dieses 

Produktes gefährliche Spannungen, die nicht isoliert 

sind und die einen elektrischen Schock verursachen 

können, herrschen.

Achtung

Lesen der Anleitungen 

• Bevor Sie das Gerät zum ersten Mal verwenden, 

sollten Sie alle Sicherheits-und Bedienungsanleitungen genau durchlesen 

und verstehen.

Aufbewahren der Anleitungen 

• Die Hinweise zur elektrischen Sicherheit 

des Produktes sollten Sie aufbewahren, damit Sie im Bedarfsfall darauf 

zurückgreifen können.

Befolgen der Warnhinweise 

• Befolgen Sie alle Warnhinweise und 

Anleitungen auf dem Gerät oder in der Benutzerdokumentation. 

Keine Zusatzgeräte 

• Verwenden Sie keine Werkzeuge oder Zusatzgeräte, 

die nicht ausdrücklich vom Hersteller empfohlen wurden, da diese eine 

Gefahrenquelle darstellen können.

Vorsicht

Stromquellen

 • Dieses Gerät sollte nur über die auf dem Produkt angegebene 

Stromquelle betrieben werden. Dieses Gerät wurde für eine Verwendung mit einer 

Hauptstromleitung mit einem geerdeten (neutralen) Leiter konzipiert. Der dritte 

Kontakt ist für einen Erdanschluß, und stellt eine Sicherheitsfunktion dar. Diese 

sollte nicht umgangen oder außer Betrieb gesetzt werden. 

Stromunterbrechung 

• Um das Gerät auf sichere Weise vom Netz zu trennen, sollten 

Sie alle Netzkabel aus der Rückseite des Gerätes, aus der externen Stomversorgung 

(falls dies möglich ist) oder aus der Wandsteckdose ziehen.

Schutz des Netzkabels 

• Netzkabel sollten stets so verlegt werden, daß sie nicht im 

Weg liegen und niemand darauf treten kann oder Objekte darauf- oder unmittelbar 

dagegengestellt werden können.

Wartung 

• Alle Wartungsmaßnahmen sollten nur von qualifiziertem Servicepersonal 

durchgeführt werden. Die internen Komponenten des Gerätes sind wartungsfrei.
