store the product or the AC adapter outdoors, near excessive dirt or dust, water, heat sources, or in locations subject to shocks, vibrations, high temperature or humidity, direct sunlight, strong light sources, or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

Do not use with wet hands. Place the product near an electrical outlet where the adapter can be easily unplugged. The AC adapter cord should be placed to avoid abrasions, cuts, fraying, crimping, and kinking. Do not

place objects on top of the cord and do not allow the AC adapter or the cord to be stepped on or run over. Be particularly careful to keep the cord straight at the end.

Use only the AC adapter that comes with your product. Using any other adapter could cause fire, electrical shock, or injury.

The AC adapter is designed for use with the product with which it was included. Do not attempt to use it with other electronic devices unless specified.

If you use an extension cord with the product, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.
