AR400 Series Router

Applying Power to the Router

1.Check the supply voltage and the router’s rated voltage.

AR400 Series routers are fitted with a universal mains power supply that will function over the range 100 VAC to 240 VAC and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.

For continued protection against the risk of fire and shock hazard, replace fuses only with the same type and rating.

Warning The specific power supply requirements for a particular model are clearly displayed on the rear or underside of the router. If the supply is outside the accepted range for the router, the router may not operate or damage to the router may result.

2.Fit the power cord retaining clip to the AC power inlet on the router’s rear panel.

3.Connect the provided power cord to the AC power inlet and clip it in place. Switch the router’s power switch to the ON position. The Power LED lights continuously and the System LED lights briefly. The Port LEDs also light briefly.

The router is supplied with an approved power cord that incorporates a moulded plug. It must only be used with the power cord supplied.

If the LEDs fail to light, the most likely cause is that the router is not receiving power. Check that:

the power supply outlet’s switch (if any), and the router’s power switch, are in the ON position

the power cable is securely plugged in

the power supply is operational
