CONNECTING POWER

The internal DVR5100 autoranging power supply adapts automatically to voltages between 100 VAC and 240 VAC (50/60 Hz).

Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (not supplied) for greater reliability. UPS devices maintain a limited amount of backup battery power in case the main power fails. The UPS should have a minimum rating of 60 VA for 115 VAC, or 75 VA for 230 VAC.

To connect power:

1.Connect one of the supplied US, European, or UK standard power cords to the rear of the unit.

2.Connect the cord to the appropriate power source.
