On operating voltage
Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage
of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power
supply.
On safety
·The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the unit itself has been turned off.
·Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to
be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the
cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the
cord itself.
