This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operational and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

To prevent electric shock do not use this (polarised) plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

Caution:

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK),

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE,

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONAL.

WARNING!TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC HOCK

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
