QUICK START GUIDE: Solus 4, Solus 8, Solus 16
Safety
G The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user of 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. The
exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user of
the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product (i.e.
this Quick Start Guide).
G CAUTION: To prevent electric shock,
do not use the polarized plug supplied
with the device with any extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the
prongs can be fully inserted.
G Power Source: This Symetrix hardware
uses a universal input supply that
automatically adjusts to the applied
voltage. Ensure that your AC mains
voltage is somewhere between 100-240
VAC, 50-60 Hz. Use only the power
cord and connector specified for the
product and your operating locale. A
protective ground connection, by way of
the grounding conductor in the power
cord, is essential for safe operation. The
appliance inlet and coupler shall remain
readily operable once the apparatus has
been installed.
G Lithium Battery Caution: Observe the
correct polarity when changing the lithium
battery. There is a danger of explosion if
battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type.
Dispose of used batteries according to
local disposal requirements.
G User Serviceable Parts: There are no
user serviceable parts inside this Symetrix
product. In case of failure, customers
inside the U.S. should refer all servicing to
the Symetrix factory. Customers outside
the U.S. should refer all servicing to an
authorized Symetrix distributor. Distributor
