Explication des symboles

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 sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

L’éclair avec une flèche à l’intérieur d’un triangle équilatéral est destiné à attirer l’attention de 
l’utilisateur sur la présence d’une « tension dangereuse » non isolée à l’intérieur de l’appareil, 
pouvant être suffisamment élevée pour constituer un risque d’électrocution.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the pres-
ence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accom-
panying the product.

Le point d’exclamation à l’intérieur d’un triangle équilatéral est destiné à attirer l’attention de

12 Use only with the cart, stand, 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 long periods of 

time.

14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

11 Utiliser exclusivement les fixations et accessoires spécifiés par le fabricant.
12 Utiliser exclusivement le chariot, le stand, le trépied, le support ou la table recom-

mandés par le fabricant ou vendus avec cet appareil. Si l’appareil est posé sur un 
chariot, déplacer le chariot avec précaution pour éviter tout risque de chute et de 
blessure.

13 Débrancher l’appareil en cas d’orage ou lorsqu’il doit rester hors service pendant 

une période prolongée.

14 Confier toute réparation à un personnel qualifié. Faire réparer l’appareil s’il a subi 

tout dommage, par exemple si la fiche ou le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé, si du liquide a coulé 
ou des objets sont tombés à l’intérieur de l’appareil, si l’appareil a été exposé à la pluie ou à de l’humidité, 
si l’appareil ne fonctionne pas normalement ou est tombé.
