AC cable.
R Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this

R Do not perform any actions (such as
fabricating, twisting, stretching, bundling,
forcibly bending, damaging, altering, exposing
to heat sources, or placing heavy objects on
the power cable) that may damage the power
cable. Using the product with a damaged
power cable may cause electric shock, short
circuits, or fire. Contact an authorised service
centre for repairs.
R Do not overload the power outlet or wiring
above the specified levels. Overloading by
having many connections on one power outlet
