– Do not use AC/Adapter/Charger outdoors or in wet or damp loca-
tions
– Connect the AC/Adapter/Charger to the correct mains voltage, as
indicated on the ratings label.
– Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and do not locate
the product where people can walk on the power cord.
– Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric chock from lightning.
