QUICK START GUIDE: Jupiter 4, Jupiter 8, Jupiter 12
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 
contact information is available online at:

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: 
• Reorient or relocate the receiving 
 antenna. 
• Increase the separation between the 
 equipment and receiver. 
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on 
a circuit different from that to which the
 receiver is connected. 
• Consult the dealer or an experienced 
 radio/TV technician for help. 
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void 
the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.
