Important Safety Information

If you have any doubt that you can lift the Personal Workstation or

display safely, do not try to move it without help.

For your safety, always connect the equipment to a grounded wall

outlet. Always use a power cord with a properly grounded plug, such as

the one provided with this equipment, or one in compliance with your

national regulations. This Personal Workstation is disconnected from

the power by removing the power cord from the power outlet. This

means the Personal Workstation must be located close to a power

outlet that is easily accessible.

For your safety, never remove the Personal Workstation’s cover without

first removing the power cord from the power outlet, and any

connection to a telecommunications network. Always replace the cover

on the Personal Workstation before switching it on again.

WARNING Do not attempt to make any adjustment to the laser units; the Personal

Workstation is a class I laser product.
