SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please adhere to the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and protect
your system from potential damage. Any acts taken that are inconsistent with ordinary use of the
product, including improper testing, etc., and those not expressly approved by D-Link may result in
the loss of product warranty.
Unless expressly approved by an authorized representative of D-Link in writing, you may not and
may not permit others to:
• Disassemble or reverse engineer the device or attempt to derive source code (underlying
ideas, algorithms, or structure) from the device or from any other information provided by
D-Link, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by local law.
• Modify or alter the device.
• Remove from the device any product identication or other notices, including copyright notices
and patent markings, if any.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the device and other
equipment, observe the following precautions:
Power Sources
• Observe and follow service markings.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your device unless consistent with the
authorized operation of the device. Doing so can cause a fire or an electrical shock by
shorting out interior components.
• The powering of this device must adhere to the power specications indicated for this product.
• Do not overload wall outlets and/or extension cords as this will increase the risk of re or
electrical shock.
• Do not rest anything on the power cord or on the device (unless the device is made and
expressly approved as suitable for stacking).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be
stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any cables.
• Operate the device only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical
ratings label.
• To help avoid damaging your device, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the
power supply is set to match the power available at your location.
• Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in
your location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided a power cable for your
device or for any AC-powered option intended for your device, purchase a power cable that
is approved for use in your country and is suitable for use with your device. The power cable
must be rated for the device and for the voltage and current marked on the device’s electrical
ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings
marked on the device.
• To help prevent an electrical shock, plug the device and peripheral power cables into properly
grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure
proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If
you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all
products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the
ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
• To help protect your device from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical
power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company
for site modications. Always follow your local/national wiring rules.
