WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

    ð Connect the unit to a properly installed grounded power outlet. ð Use the Erbe power cord exclusively; you can find the REF numbers in the user manual of the unit. For the US market only: Only connect the unit with an Erbe power cord (you can find the REF numbers in the user manual of the unit).
  • Page 9 1 • Safety instructions WARNING Open unit intentionally carrying voltage for servicing work. Risk of electric shock and resulting consequential injuries. The unit/objects in the vicinity of the unit can be dam- aged. ð Under no circumstances should you touch live compo- nents, e.g., unprotected wires, conductive surfaces in- side of the unit.
