Safety Notices
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
ANY COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE: The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
INSTRUCTIONS: The exclamation point within the equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying this appliance.
CAUTION (for U.S.A. & CANADIAN models only): TO PREVENT
ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN
EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE
BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
Warning: Contains flashing and strobe light effects. Not recommended for
individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or light sensitivity.
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock.
Do not open.
ESD/EFT Warning: This unit may contain a microcomputer
for signal processing and control functions. In very rare
situations, severe interference, noise from an external source,
or static electricity may cause it to lock up. In the unlikely
event that this should happen, turn off the unit, wait at least
five seconds, and then turn it back on again. The pins of
connectors identified with this ESD warning symbol should
not be touched.
Do not force discharge, recharge (non-rechargeable batteries are not to
be recharged), disassemble, heat above manufacturer’s specified
temperature rating, or incinerate. Doing so may result in injury due to
venting, leakage, or explosion resulting in chemical burns.
