WARNING: If the ground is defeated, certain fault conditions in the unit or in the system to 
which it is connected can result in full line voltage between chassis and earth ground. Severe 
injury or death can then result if the chassis and earth ground are touched simultaneously.
The symbols shown above are internationally accepted symbols that warn of 
potential hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash with arrowpoint in 
an equilateral triangle means that there are dangerous voltages present within 
the unit. The exclamation point in an equilateral triangle indicates that it is 
necessary for the user to refer to the owner’s manual.
These symbols warn that there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. 
Do not open the unit. Do not attempt to service the unit yourself. Refer all 
servicing to qualified personnel. Opening the chassis for any reason will void 
the manufacturer’s warranty. Do not get the unit wet. If liquid is spilled on the 
unit, shut it off immediately and take it to a dealer for service.  Disconnect the 
unit during storms to prevent damage.
