FOR DEVICES DESIGNED TO BE CONNECTED TO THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY:

– ATTENTION: If your equipment has a power cord with a grounding plug, it must be connected to a wall outlet with a ground connection. Never remove the grounding plug from the power cord.
– If your equipment has been exposed to extreme temperature changes, allow it to reach room temperature before turning it on. Otherwise, moisture and condensation may damage the equipment.
– Before plugging in the equipment, make sure that the voltage and frequency of the power outlet match the specifications of the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selector, only connect it to the power outlet if the values match. If the power cord or adapter does not fit your outlet, contact an electrician.
– Do not step on the power cord. Make sure it is not pinched at the outlet, adapter, or equipment connection.
– Keep the power cord or adapter within reach and disconnect the equipment from the power supply when not in use or when cleaning it. Always unplug the cord or adapter by pulling the plug or adapter, not the cord. Never touch the cord or adapter with wet hands.
– Avoid frequently turning the equipment on and off, as this can reduce its useful life.
– IMPORTANT: Only replace fuses with those of the same type and rating. If a fuse repeatedly blows, contact an authorized service center.
– To completely disconnect the equipment from the power mains, unplug the power cord or adapter from the outlet.
– If your device has a Volex power connector, the mating Volex connector must be unlocked before it can be removed. Be careful when laying cables, as the equipment can slide or fall if the power cord is pulled.
