Note about power connections

AC adaptor connection

RThe AC adaptor must remain connected at all times. (It is normal for the adaptor to feel warm during use.)

RThe AC adaptor should be connected to a vertically oriented or floor-mounted AC outlet. Do not connect the AC adaptor to a ceiling-mounted AC outlet, as the weight of the adaptor may cause it to become disconnected.
