Always disconnect the power source when moving the apparatus or when
connecting or disconnecting cables.
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not
overload mains AC outlets and extension cords. For
products that require battery power or other power
sources to operate them, refer to the operating
instructions for those products.
Preventing Power Cord Damage
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
