Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and PWS-870.
Do not attempt to service the PWS-870 yourself. Always follow installation
instructions closely.
Be sure that nothing rests on the AC adapte r's power cable and that the cable is
not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Do not cover the AC adaptor with papers or other items that will reduce cooling;
also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use
with this PWS-870. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk
of fire or explosion.
If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere
rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
When you move the PWS-870 between environments with very different tem-
perature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the PWS-
870. To avoid damaging the PWS-870, allow sufficient time for the moisture to
evaporate before using the PWS-870.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief loop,
not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to
avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure
both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
