 Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in
your location.
 Depending on your device, use only a supplied power adapter or approved power cable:
If your device uses a power adapter:
If you were not provided with a power adapter, contact your local NETGEAR reseller.

The power adapter must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current

marked on the product electrical ratings label.
If your device uses a power cable:
If you were not provided with a power cable for your system or for any AC-powered

option intended for your system, purchase a power cable approved for your country.
The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current

marked on the product electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the
cable must be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
 To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into properly
grounded electrical outlets.
 If applicable to your device, the peripheral power cables are equipped with three-prong
plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the
grounding prong from a cable. 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, power adapter cables, or power cables carefully. Route cables so
that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
 Do not modify power adapters, power adapter cables, power cables or plugs. Consult a
licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications.
 Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
