instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
This symbol is intended to alert
the user to 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use in countries other than the U.S.A. may require the use of a different line

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 — if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
CAUTION
If the 9045, Vintage Keys is rack mounted, a standard 19-inch open frame
rack must be used.
