b) Electrical safety
• Before connecting the product to the mains, check that your local A/C mains
voltage matches the specifications on the nameplate.
• The power adapter is built according to protection class II. Only connect the
adapter plug to a standard mains socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) connected to the
public grid.
• Never pour liquids over electrical devices or place objects filled with liquid next to
the device. If liquid or an object gets into the device, power down the respective
mains socket (e.g. switch off the circuit breaker), and then pull the mains plug
from the mains socket. Discontinue use and take the product to a specialist repair
centre.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into
a warm one. The condensation that forms might destroy the product. The power
adapter may also generate a fatal electric shock! Allow the product to reach room
temperature before connecting it and putting it into use. This may take several
hours.
• Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may
cause a fatal electric shock! Switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing
the power adapter (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the
safety fuse, and then switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch).
You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the
faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly manner and discontinue use.
Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, ensure that the cables are not pinched, kinked or
damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during
storms.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
This poses a risk of injury.
c) Persons and product
• The housing warms up during use. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Do
not cover the housing! Covering the housing may cause the device to overheat
and result in a fire.
• Do not place naked flames, such as burning candles, on or immediately next to
the device.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the Gigabit switch.
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
