008c

Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a

different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with

any other device.

..........................................................................................................

Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and

short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!
