RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user of the pres-
ence 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).
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.
Power Source.
SymNet™ Control
I/O 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.
User Serviceable Parts.
There
are no user serviceable parts inside the
SymNet™ Control I/O. In case of failure,
customers inside the U.S. should refer
all servicing to the Symetrix factory.
Customers outside the U.S. should
refer all servicing to an authorized
Symetrix distributor. Distributor con-
tact information is available online at
