Please read through all of the safety instructions carefully and keep them for questions that may arise later. Always observe all warnings and instructions in this operating manual and on the rear of the unit.

Safety instructions for using the power supply

• The unit should only be connected to a mains voltage supply of 100- 240 V~, 50/60 Hz.
• Never try to operate the unit with a different voltage.
• Only use the supplied power supply or an original Dual alternative.
• The mains plug should only be connected after installation has been completed according to the instructions.
• Use a suitable, easily accessible mains connection and avoid using multiple sockets!
• This socket should be as close to the unit as possible.
• Make sure the power cable or plug is always easily accessible so that the unit can be disconnected quickly from the power supply!
• Lay the mains cable in such a way that no one can trip over it and do not place any heavy objects on the mains cable.
• Fully insert the mains plug into the socket.
• Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands—risk of electric shock!
• If the mains plug of the unit is defective or if the unit shows other damage, it must not be operated.
• When unplugging the mains cable from the socket pull on the mains plug, not on the cable.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket if you do not intend to use the unit for a prolonged period. Only pull on the plug itself.
• In the event of malfunctions or smoke and odour coming from the housing disconnect the mains plug from the socket immediately!
• Before a thunderstorm sets in, disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
