SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The power supply is only guaranteed to function properly if the instructions are followed�
Caution: Only use original be quiet! power cables� Check the compatibility on bequiet�com if you
use be quiet! power cables not supplied with this power supply� Using not be quiet! power cables or
cables of older power supply unit series may lead to defects!
Connect the power supply directly with a power source� Don't use a outlet power strip�
Never open the power supply case� There is a risk of fatal injury when working on power sources�
The electronic components inside the case generate a high voltage that is dangerous to humans�
Even after disconnecting the power supply from a power source, some parts still have high voltages�
If you notice traces of smoke, damaged cables and exposure to liquids, immediately disconnect the
power from the power source and do not use it again�
Please have any and all necessary repairs conducted by an authorized expert!
Opening the device voids your warranty.
∙ Never handle the power supply with wet or damp hands when in operation�
∙ Never insert objects into the power supply's apertures/fans�
∙ Note that the power supply is designed for use indoors in conditions without high levels of
moisture in the ambient air� Using the power supply outdoors will lead to serious damage�
∙ Never work on the power supply while it is connected to a power source� In this case, always set
the power switch to "0" and / or disconnect the power plug�
∙ In the event of a short circuit in the device, unplug the AC cable and do not use the device�
Make sure that your PC is not located directly next to a heating system or any other source of heat�
Make sure that your computer case is sufficiently ventilated by means of additional fans; with today's
complex and powerful systems a power supply is incapable of dissipating the heat produced in the
PC case without additional support�
If you want to clean your power supply, disconnect it completely from the power source and never
use a damp cloth or cleaning agent� Clean the power supply from the outside using a dry cloth�
Before using the power supply, allow it to warm up to room temperature for one hour to prevent
