Step 1 Preparing the power source

Note

Prevent metallic objects from coming into contact with the metal parts of the DC plug of the AC Adaptor. This may cause a short-circuit, damaging the AC Adaptor.

When you use the AC Adaptor

Place the AC Adaptor near a wall outlet. While using the AC Adaptor if any trouble occurs with this unit, disconnect the plug from a wall outlet as soon as possible to cut off the power.
