WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock,
fire, or damage to the equipment:
■
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding
plug is an important safety feature.
■
Plug the equipment into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times.
■
Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power
cord from the electrical outlet.
■
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so
that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not
pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical
outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
