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.
