IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

 

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. 

DO NOT OPEN 

 

 

 
 

 

 
 
 

WARNING:  Apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective 
earthing connection. 
 
WARNING:  To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the rack in accordance with the 
installation instructions. 
 
1.  Read these instructions. 
2.  Keep these instructions. 
3.  Heed all warnings. 
4.  Follow all instructions. 
5.  Do not use this apparatus near water. 
6.  Clean only with a dry cloth. 
 
7.  Do not block any ventilation openings, install in 
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 
 
8.  Do not install near any heat sources, such as 
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus 
(including amplifiers) that produce heat. 
 
9.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or 
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades 
with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug 
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide 
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If 
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult 
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.  
 
10.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or 
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles and the point where they exit from the 
apparatus. 
 
11.  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the 
manufacturer. 
 

12.  Use only with the cart, tripod, bracket or 

table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the 
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when 
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury 
from a tip over. 

 

13.  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or 
when unused for a long period of time. 
 
14.  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 
Servicing is required when the

 

apparatus has been 

damaged in any way, such as if the power-supply cord or 
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have 
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been 
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, 
or has been dropped. 
 
15.  Do not expose this equipment to dripping or 
splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, 
such as vases, are placed on the equipment. 
 
16.  To completely disconnect this equipment from the 
AC mains, disconnect the power cord from the mains 
circuit breaker. 
 
17.  This unit is fitted with a 3-wire power cord. For 
safety reasons, THE EARTH LEAD SHOULD NOT BE 
DISCONNECTED IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. 
 

18.  Correct disposal of this product: This symbol 

indicates that this product must not be disposed of with 
household waste, according to the WEEE Directive 
(2012/19/EU) and your national law. This product should 
be taken to a collection center licensed for the recycling 
of waste electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). The 
mishandling of this type of waste could have a possible 
negative impact on the environment and human health 
due to potentially hazardous substances that are 
generally associated with EEE. At the same time, your 
cooperation in the correct disposal of this product will 
contribute to the efficient use of natural resources. For 
more information about where you can take your waste 
equipment for recycling, please contact your local city 
office, or your household waste collection service.   

 

 

 

 
 
 
 

 
 

The lightning flash with arrowhead 
symbol within an equilateral triangle is 
intended to alert the user to the presence 
0f 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 mark within an 
equilateral triangle is intended to alert 
the user of important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions in 
the literature accompanying the 
appliance.
