1 Safety information
This section contains important information about the operation of your device. It also contains
information about how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully before using

laws, and may be dangerous. Please contact your retailer for information about the
availability of approved accessories in your area.
Power adapter safety
• The power plug is intended to serve as a disconnect device.
• For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the devices and shall be easily
accessible.
• Unplug the power adapter from electrical outlets and the device when not in use.

9
• Do not drop or cause an impact to the power adapter. If it is damaged, take it to an
authorized service center for inspection.
• If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is exposed or broken), or the plug
loosens, stop using it at once. Continued use may lead to electric shocks, short circuits, or
fire.
• Do not touch the device or the power adapter with wet hands. Doing so may lead to short
circuits, malfunctions, or electric shocks.
