Warnings & Cautions

SYMBOL

MEANING

Risk of electric shock / risk of fire

Do not open. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user serviceable parts 
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Burning Injuries 

Be aware of high case temperatures of 60-85°C during and after use of Sonara. Don’t touch the metal cases, 
frames, or LEDs to avoid burning injuries.

Flammable Materials 

Keep flammable materials away from the installation. The installation should be such that the amount of air flow 
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation must be provided.

ESD and LEDs 

LED components used in Sonara are sensitive to electro-static discharge (ESD). To prevent the possibility of 
destroying LED components do not touch during operation or when SONARA is switched off.

Light output 

Due to high light-output intensity do not look directly into the bare LED array. Use diffusers when exposing the 
light to human eyes.

Disconnect Device 

When the appliance inlets of any individual SONARAs are not accessible, the socket outlets supplying the 
rack shall be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect 
device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Disconnect device should state 3mm separation in both poles 
and should include reference to national wiring rules.

This equipment MUST be earthed 

In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the installation should be properly grounded. Defeating the 
purpose of the grounding type plug will expose you to the risk of electric shock.

Mains cords 

Use only a Neutrik PowerCon TrueOne NAC3FX-W-TOP Connector. The user is responsible for ensuring power 
cables are of adequate condition for each application. If the power cords are damaged, replace them only with 
new ones. Never try to repair a power cord.

Environmental: Disposal of old electrical & electronic equipment 

This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product shall not be treated as household 
waste.
