Safety Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when unsafe conditions exist or when potentially hazardous voltages are present:

Always use caution and common sense.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not operate equipment with the cover removed.
Repairs must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

Improper handling and/or installation practices of sensitive equipment may VOID the warranty.

Caution

When handling components, or when setting switch options, always use an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or chassis. If a wrist strap is not available, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface on the equipment. Never use a conductive tool, such as a screwdriver or a paper clip, to set switches.

ATTENTION Lors de la manipulation de composants ou lors du réglage des options de commutateur, utilisez toujours un bracelet antistatique connecté à un cadre ou un châssis d'équipement relié à la terre. Si aucun bracelet n'est disponible, touchez périodiquement une surface métallique non peinte de l'équipement. N'utilisez jamais d'outil conducteur, tel qu'un tournevis ou un trombone, pour régler les commutateurs ou interrupteurs.
