requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and is to be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to
the parts they replace. A double-insulated product is marked with the words “DOUBLE
INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol (
) is also able to be marked on
the product.
Radio Frequency Interference
Electronic equipment may be influenced by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Caution
should be exercised with regard to the use of portable communications equipment in the

IMMEDIATELY. Leave unplugged while transmission is in progress.
