Power Cord Protection
– Power supply cords must be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on nor pinched
by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to the cords at AC wall plugs and convenience
receptacles and at the point where the cord enters the AC/DC adapter. The appliance coupler on the external AC/DC
power supply is considered the mains disconnect device.
