Important Information for Australia
IMPORTANT-For Your Safety.
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be 
inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is 
effectively grounded through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-conductor 
and be correctly wired to provide connection to ground. Incorrectly 
wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply 
that the power is grounded and that the installation is completely 
safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of 
the power, consult a qualified electrician.
Disconnect device
This machine must be installed near a power outlet, which is easily 
accessible. In case of emergencies, you must disconnect the power 
cord from the power outlet in order to shut off power completely.

Do not connect this product to a LAN connection that is subject to
