1  Important Rules for Safe Operation 

 

 

 

The Access Appliance has been engineered with both 
performance and safety in mind.  However, safety is also your 
responsibility.  Read and observe all these recommended 
safety precautions.

 

   

Check power sources. 

 Plug this device only into the recommended 

power source indicated on the product’s marking label.  If you are not 
sure what type of power source is provided at your location, consult your 
local power company or other certified expert. 

Always use the provided power adapter.

  Always use the power 

adapter provided with the product.  And do not use any substitutes.  If 
the provided adapter becomes damaged or misplaced, contact coaXmedia 
for replacement ordering information. 

Be careful of overloading.

  Do not overload wall outlets or extension 

cords, as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock.  Don’t use any 
frayed power cords.  Don’t stretch cords to reach the appliance or other 
devices: tension at the connectors is a fire hazard. 

Avoid damaging power cords.

  Arrange power supply cords so that 

they are out of the way.  Route them through areas where it is unlikely 
they will be walked on or objects rolled over them. 

Avoid placing the product near any heat source.

  Never place this 

product near any heat source.  This includes any kitchen appliances 
(ovens, toasters, etc.), heating vents, or any other heat source.  This is a 
fire hazard. 

Do not use the product near water.

  Never use this product anywhere 

near a water source or in a damp area.  Don’t use it near bathroom or 
kitchen water sources such as sinks or washing appliances.  Don’t use it 
near pools.  Don’t use it in a damp area such as a basement. 

Avoid stacking.

  Avoid stacking this item on top of or under other 

devices that can generate or radiate heat.  Such stacking can concentrate 
heat sources in a small area and creates a fire hazard. 

Use caution when moving the product.

  Use caution whenever 

moving the Access Appliance.  If dropped, resulting damage could render 
the appliance inoperable or a fire hazard.
