· Plug one end of the AC power cord to the Adapter, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
· For units using 120 V AC: Use a UL-listed cord set, type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.
· For units using 220/240 V AC: Use a cord set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A/250 V. The cord set should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will be installed.

Power saving
