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.
