Applying Power to the Router

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

The router is 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 fuses of 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.
