   The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral 
triangle is intended to alert the user to 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.

   Le symbole éclair avec point de flèche à l'intérieur d'un triangle 
équilatéral est utilisé pour alerter l'utilisateur de la présence à 
l'intérieur du coffret de "voltage dangereux" non isolé d'ampleur 
suffisante pour constituer un risque d'éléctrocution.

   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 appliance.

   Le point d'exclamation à l'intérieur d'un triangle équilatéral est
