WARNING:
When using electrical products, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
Read this manual thoroughly before using this device.
l
M.T.H. recommends that all users and persons supervising use examine the hobby transformer and other electronic equipment
periodically for conditions that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, such as damage to the primary cord,
plug blades, housing, output jacks or other parts. In the event such conditions exist, the train set should not be used until properly
repaired.
l
Do not operate your layout unattended. Obstructed accessories or stalled trains may overheat, resulting in damage to your layout.
l
This train set is intended for indoor use. Do not use if water is present. Serious injury or fatality may result.
l
Do not operate the hobby transformer with damaged cord, plug, switches, buttons or case.
l
The transformer was designed to operate on regular US household current (120 volt, 50-60 Hertz). Do not connect to any other
source of power.
l
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the transformer unit. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If the unit is
damaged contact M.T.H. Service for instructions.
l
The transformer is equipped with an internal circuit protector. If the circuit protector trips, unplug the power cord from the electrical
wall outlet, check your layout for any short circuits. The circuit breaker will reset automatically when the short is removed from the
circuit.
l
Unplug the transformer from the electrical wall outlet when not in use.
l
Do not use this transformer for other than its intended purpose.
