Safety Symbols caution C A U T I O N caution warning sign denotes a life-threatening hazard. It calls attention to a W A R N I N G procedure which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result warning in injury or loss of life.
General Safety Considerations This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing W A R N I N G ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside of the instrument is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
