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).

• 

CAUTION:

 To prevent electric shock, 

do not use the polarized plug supplied 

with the device with any extension cord, 

receptacle, or other outlet unless the 

prongs can be fully inserted.

• 

Power Source:

 This Symetrix hardware 

uses a universal input 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.

•
