ampere rating of the equipment plugged into the extension cord does not 
exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total 
rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the fuse 
rating.

Do not overload a power outlet, strip or receptacle by plugging in too 
many devices. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the branch 
circuit rating. If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80% of 
the power strip's input rating.

This product's power cord is equipped with a three-wire grounded plug. 
The plug only fits in a grounded power outlet. Make sure the power outlet 
is properly grounded before inserting the power cord plug. Do not insert 
the plug into a non-grounded power outlet. Contact your electrician for 
details.

Warning! The grounding pin is a safety feature. Using a power 
outlet that is not properly grounded may result in electric shock 
and/or injury.

Note: The grounding pin also provides good protection from 
unexpected noise produced by other nearby electrical devices that 
may interfere with the performance of this product.

Use the product only with the supplied power supply cord set. If you need 
to replace the power cord set, make sure that the new power cord meets
