SWITCH OPERATION
This section explains the operation and features of
the switch prior to plugging the power cord into an
extension cord. The intent is to familiarize the user
with the switch operation without actually turning ON
the router.
The switch incorporates two positive features to
prevent inadvertent switching ON of the router and the
unauthorized, and possibly hazardous, use by others:
• There is a transparent cover over the actual switch
to prevent the accidental switching ON of the router.
This cover allows you to see a small red light on
the switch toggle when the switch is turned ON.
The switch can be turned OFF quickly by pushing
the cover.
• The light is ON when the switch is ON.
• The light is OFF when the switch is OFF.
• The lockout key must be completely inserted into
the side of the switch case before the switch can
be turned ON.
To operate the switch:
MAKE SURE THAT THE EXTENSION CORD IS NOT
PLUGGED INTO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE
PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER.
1. Insert the lockout key into the side of the switch
case. See Figure 17.
2. To turn the router ON, lift the switch cover and
toggle switch to ON (RESET) position. See A above.
Gently lower the switch cover. Letting the switch
cover drop closed may cause the switch to turn OFF.
3. To turn the router OFF, press the switch cover. The
switch toggle will be in the OFF position, as shown in
B above.
