$ THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED

To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal house-hold wiring.

Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connec- tion to earth. Wrongly wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.

The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For your safe- ty, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK HAZ- ARD, REFER MOUNTING OF THE OPTIONAL INTERFACE BOARD TO AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
