Important safety instructions

UpCon English Manual (2014-10-07) 2

The lightning flash with an arrowhead

symbol within an equilateral triangle, is

intended to alert the user to 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 equilat-

eral triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and

maintenance (servicing) instructions in

the literature accompanying the product.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. In-

stall in accordance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other ap-

paratus (including amplifiers) that produce

heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the po-

larized 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 wide blade

or the third prong are provided for your safe-

ty. If the provided plug does not fit into your

outlet, consult an electrician for replacement

of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit

from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified

by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specified by the man-

ufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When

a cart is used, use caution when moving the

cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury

from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms

or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel. Servicing is required when the ap-

paratus has been damaged in any way, such

as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen

into the apparatus, the apparatus has been

exposed to rain or moisture, does not oper-

ate normally, or has been dropped.

do not expose this equipment to dripping or

splashing and ensure that no objects filled

with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the

equipment.

►Use a three wire grounding type line cord like

the one supplied with the product.

►Be advised that different operating voltages

require the use of different types of line cord

and attachment plugs.
