provides guidelines for proper grounding of the cable shield.

This symbol is intended to alert you that uninsulated voltage within

this product may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock.

Therefore, it is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any

inside part of this product.
Ce symbole a pour but d’alerter toute personne qu’un contact avec

une pièce interne de ce produit, sous tension et non isolée, pourrait

être suffisant pour provoquer un choc électrique. Il est donc

dangereux d’être en contact avec toute pièce interne de ce produit.

This symbol is intended to alert you of the presence of important operating and

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying this product.
