Never attempt to repair or modify the product. Doing so may lead to serious accidents.

<<Electric shock, destruction of property, fire, or malfunctions may result.>>

In the event of a problem, an excessive voltage may arise at an output terminal, or the voltage

may drop. Anticipate these fluctuations and any consequential malfunctions or destruction and

provide adequate protection for equipment, such as overvoltage or overcurrent protection.

Check the polarity of the input and output terminals. Make sure they are properly connected

before turning on power.

<<Failure to do so may lead to failure of the protective element or generate smoke or fire.>>

Use only the specified input voltage. Deploy a protective element on the input line.

<<Problems may result in smoke or fire.>>

In the event of a malfunction or other anomaly, shut power off and contact us immediately.
