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.
