• Use the product only with approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service provider or local power company.
• To avoid damaging your system, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if provided)
on the power supply is set to match the power at your location:
- 115V, 60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries
such as South Korea and Taiwan
- 100V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100V, 60 Hz in western Japan
- 230V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
• Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available
in your location.
• Use only the power adapter that ships with the product. If you were not provided
with a power adapter, contact your local NETGEAR reseller.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system into properly grounded electrical
outlets.
• If you must use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly grounded
plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not
exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
• Position system cables and the power adapter cable carefully. Route cables so that
they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Do not modify the power adapter or power adapter cable. Consult a licensed
electrician or your power company for site modifications.
• Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
