The symbols shown above are internationally accepted symbols that warn of 

potential hazards with electrical products. The lightning flash with arrowpoint in

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
