tions in temperature (for example, after transport), do
not switch it on immediately. Moisture and condensation
could damage the equipment. Do not switch on the equip-
ment until it has reached room temperature.
24. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet,

has a voltage selection switch, connect the equipment
to the power outlet only if the equipment values and
the mains power values match. If the included power
cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet,
contact your electrician.
