Netgear PL1200 - Powerline 1200 User Manual

Follow these safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your system from potential
damage:

For national approvals (approval schemes other than CB), relevant national standards for plug, socket-outlet,
and direct plug-in units (for example, US) shall also be consulted while you are testing and approving such
products according to the national standards.

Check the electrical current for any device plugged into the filtered AC socket. Do not exceed home and product
outlet ratings and electrical requirements.

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.

Only power cords are allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC socket; no other equipment with a direct plug-in
is allowed. Power cords must be a maximum of 1 m long and a minimum of 0.75 mm

2

 of cross-sectional area.

Do not plug devices into the Powerline PassThru Adapter filtered AC outlet that exceed the product ratings. The
output voltage of the filtered AC outlet is the same as the power outlet that the Powerline PassThru Adapter is
plugged into. To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the attached devices are electrically rated to
operate with the power available in your location.

If the input AC voltage is less than 100 VAC, the device plugged into the filtered AC socket of the Powerline
PassThru Adapter might not perform as well as expected.

DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC socket or into an attached power strip. The
device is not intended to be used with home appliances such as air conditioners, power tools, space heaters,
fans, hair dryers, ovens, or refrigerators.

Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network
traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.

Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.

Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt can expose you to
electrical shock. Only a trained service technician should service components inside these compartments.

Use the product only with approved equipment.

Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.

To help avoid damaging your system, be sure that the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply
is set to match the power available at your location:

110 volts (V), 60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as
South Korea and Taiwan

100V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100V, 60 Hz in western Japan

230V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

The peripheral power 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.

Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure 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.
