disposal.

 

 

This symbol, when noted on a product enclosure or barrier, indicates that a risk of electrical shock and/or 
electrocution exists. 

 

This symbol, when noted on the product, identifies the location of the connection for Protective Earth 
(ground). 

 

This symbol, when noted on the product, identifies the location of a fuse or current limiting device. 

 

This symbol, when noted on the product, indicated the presence of devices sensitive to Electro-static 
Discharge 
(ESD) and indicated that care must be taken to prevent damage with the equipment.
