The cord should be installed in the vehicle so that it is not subjected to damage or stress.
•
Use of a power cord that is not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in fire, electric
shock, or personal injury.

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord
could result in fire or electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• The plug pins on the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those on the adaptor.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition and that the wire size is larger
than 16 AWG.

When the unit is connected to the vehicle or AC adaptor, the mains power cord shall comply with
National safety regulations of the country where the equipment is to be used.
•
Do not use the AC adaptor with a damaged cord or plug. Replace it immediately.
•
Do not operate the AC adaptor if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; it should be inspected by qualified service personnel.
