Case Temperature
This adapter is a high energy “switching regulated power supply” and generates a significant amount of heat when used at peak power for extended periods. As a safety feature, an internal precision circuit monitors power and temperature and limits the output to within safe limits. Even with this fea- ture, the case can become warm to the touch.
When using this power adapter, care should be taken to avoid blocking the air vents in the case. When possible, it is recommended that the case be positioned to enable maxi- mum air circulation.
