• The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user of 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. The
exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user of
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product (i.e.
this Quick Start Guide).
• CAUTION: To prevent electric shock,
do not use the polarized plug supplied
with the device with any extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the
prongs can be fully inserted.
• Power Source: This Symetrix hardware
uses a universal input supply that
automatically adjusts to the applied
voltage. Ensure that your AC mains
voltage is somewhere between 100-240
VAC, 50-60 Hz. Use only the power
cord and connector specified for the
product and your operating locale. A
protective ground connection, by way of
the grounding conductor in the power
