line performance. Plugging the power plugs of nearby devices into the filtered
AC socket may improve performance.

• Only power cords are allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC outlet; no other
equipment with a direct plug-in is allowed. Power cord needs to be a maximum of
1m long and a minimum of 0.75mm square of cross-sectional area.
• Do not plug devices into the XAV1501 filtered AC outlet that exceed the product
ratings.The output voltage of the filtered AC outlet is the same as the power outlet
which the XAV1501 is plugged into. To help avoid damaging your system, be sure
that the attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available
in your location.
• If the input AC voltage is less than 125Vac, the device plugged into the filtered AC
socket of the XAV1501 may not perform as well as expected.
• DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC socket or into an
attached powerstrip. The device is not intended to be used with home appliances
