the on-board power the connector has to be completely removed from the socket. The
device should be installed so that access to the on-board connector can be had at any time
so that the device can be disconnected immediately in the case of emergency. To eliminate
the risk of fire the power connector of a connected consumer should always be removed from
the power socket if the device is not to be used for a long period of time.

Cable
Always grasp cables on the plug and never pull on the cable itself. Never grasp the
connection cable with wet hands as this can cause a short circuit or an electric shock. Do not
place the device itself, pieces of furniture or other heavy items on the cable. Make sure that
the cable is not kinked especially at the plug and the connection sockets. Never tie a knot in
the cable and never fasten it to another cable. All cables should be laid so that nobody can
step on them or be hindered by them. If the connection cable is to be placed in a vehicle
make sure that the cable is protected from sharp metal panels. Use cable ducts or conduits. A
damaged connection cable can cause a fire or an electric shock.
