humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if
the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are
connected to the product.
• The device was constructed according to protection class II. Only a proper mains
socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) of the public supply net must be used as voltage
source.
• Never pour liquids over electrical devices and never place liquid-filled objects near
the device. If liquid or an object enters the interior of the device nevertheless,
first power down the respective socket (e.g. switch off circuit breaker) and then
pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the product anymore
afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
• It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture,
e.g. in bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Never pull the mains plug from the socket by pulling at the cable. Always pull it
from the mains socket using the intended grips.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not use the device for an
extended period of time.
• For safety reasons, always unplug the device in case of a thunderstorm.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges
or put under mechanical stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains
cable from extreme heat or cold. Do not modify the mains cable. Otherwise the
mains cable may be damaged. A damaged mains cable can cause a deadly
electric shock.
VERSION 07/13
• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. First, power down the respective
mains socket (e.g. via the respective circuit breaker) and then carefully pull the
mains plug from the mains socket. Never use the product if the mains cable is

If the USB port is being used while a notebook is connected to the power
adaptor, the output current for the notebook will decrease (see Technical
Data).
a) Connecting a notebook computer
1. Select a connector that fits your notebook (see the table in the chapter "Technical Data").
2. Connect the connector to the output socket on the power adaptor's DC output cable.
Polarity of all connectors is pre-specified (outer: negative – / inner: positive +) and cannot
be altered.
3. Connect the power adaptor's output connector to your notebook's DC jack. The notebook
must be turned off at this time.
4. Connect the power cable to the power adaptor.
5. Connect the power plug to a common household power outlet. The power indicator lights
up to indicate the power adaptor is operational.
6. Now you can turn on your notebook.
7. Repeat these steps in the reverse order to disconnect your notebook from the power
adaptor.
