For this apparatus, the cable shield/screen shall be grounded as 
close as practical to the point of entry of the cable into the building. 
For products sold in the US and Canada, this reminder is provided to 
call the system installer's attention to Article 800-93 and Article 
800-100 of the NEC (or Canadian Electrical Code Part 1), which 
provides guidelines for proper grounding of the cable shield.

This symbol is intended to alert you that uninsulated voltage within 
this product may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. 
Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any 
inside part of this product.

Ce symbole a pour but d’alerter toute personne qu’un contact avec 
une pièce interne de ce produit, sous tension et non isolée, pourrait 
être suffisant pour provoquer un choc électrique. Il est donc 
dangereux d’être en contact avec toute pièce interne de ce produit.

This symbol is intended to alert you of the presence of important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying this product. 

Ce symbole a pour but de vous avertir qu’une documentation importante sur le 
fonctionnement et l’entretien accompagne ce produit.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back).
