Warning:
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply / power cord (devices with power cords/power supplies):

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The required voltage is printed on the type plate of the device. Check the power cable from time to time regarding dirt, damage or other influence.
• Use only the included power cord / power supply or adaptor.
