Depending on your region, the included AC adaptor may be a different type than the one shown above. If so, omit step 2 and proceed.

3.Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN jack on the GW-7’s rear panel, and then plug the AC adaptor into an electrical outlet.

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the power

cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
