IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use in countries other than the U.S.A. may require the use of a different line
cord or attachment plug, or both. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
refer servicing to qualified service personnel. To reduce risk of fire or electric
shock do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the
risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you
are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with this product Ñ if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified technician.
CAUTION
If the UltraProteus (model number 9053), is rack mounted, a standard 19-inch
open frame rack must be used.
