“dangerous voltage” within the product enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of shock to persons.
ESD Susceptibility This symbol is used to alert the user that an electrical or electronic
device or assembly is susceptible to damage from an ESD event.
Warning 1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
8) Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has
two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit in to your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
