Safety

G

 

The lightning flash

 with arrowhead 

symbol within an equilateral triangle 
is intended to alert the user of 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 product (i.e. this 
Quick Start Guide).

G

 

CAUTION:

 To prevent electric shock, 

do not use the polarized plug supplied 
with the unit with any extension cord, 
receptacle, or other outlet unless the 
prongs can be fully inserted.

G

 

Power Source:

 This Symetrix 

hardware uses a switching power 
supply that automatically adjusts 
to the applied voltage. Ensure that 
your AC mains voltage is somewhere 
between 100-240 VAC, 50-60 
Hz. Use only the power cord and 
connector specified for the product 
and your operating locale. A protective 
ground connection, by way of the 
grounding conductor in the power 
cord, is essential for safe operation. 
The appliance inlet and coupler shall 
remain readily operable once the 
apparatus has been installed.
