Safety precautions
- Power Cords: Never wrap cords around the adapter to prevent fraying or crimping. Route cords to avoid tripping or pinching.
- Liquids: Keep the adapter away from liquids to prevent short circuits and corrosion.
- Ventilation: The adapter generates heat during operation. Ensure it is exposed to air and not covered by papers or other materials.
- Damage: Do not use the adapter if the case is cracked, the cord is damaged, or if there are signs of overheating (e.g., deformed plastic).
