Important Safety Instructions

POWERMATE3

The lightning flash with 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 sufficent magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to per- sons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12.Use only with the cart, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, 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 a long period of time.

14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or orbjects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.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.

16.To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.

3.Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the mains voltage or the output voltage.

4.The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure), respectively between the mains poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times. The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any switches or breakers that are not connected to the mains (secondary parts) has to be 6 mm and needs to be minded at all times.

5.Replacing special components that are marked in the circuit diagram using the security symbol (Note) is only permissible when using original parts.

6.Altering the circuitry without prior consent or advice is not legitimate.
