ACTIVboard Quick Start Guide 2 Safety Instructions This ACTIV system is supplied with a universal voltage input Power Supply Unit (PSU) branded "ACTIVboard" type number FW7400/06. This is the only approved type of PSU for use with a ACTIV system. Do not connect any other PSU to the ACTIV system. The PSU does not contain any user serviceable parts and must not be opened. If suspected to be faulty, contact an authorized Promethean service agent to obtain a replacement PSU of the same type. Inspect the PSU for physical damage to the casing and wiring before use. If damage is apparent, take care to avoid contact with any potentially live parts. Disconnect the PSU from the electrical mains supply at the wall socket and contact an authorized Promethean service agent for advice or replacement. The PSU is supplied with a suitable mains input lead for your specific country. It may also be supplied with additional mains leads (in the case where the country has more than one type mains plug). Only use the lead which is compatible with your mains outlet socket. Do not attempt to modify the mains lead. If a compatibility issue exists, contact Promethean or one of its service agents before attempting to connect the unit to the mains supply. Safety Notices Be aware of the following general precautions before installing or operating any products: Read all instruction manuals and user guides supplied on the Application CD as these include important Health and Safety information. Adult supervision is recommended at all times when children are operating the equipment. Promethean are always pleased to advise customers about classroom layout and environment. We do however, always suggest that a space of 1m is left either side of the board to allow for free movement. The system has been designed and set up by trained personnel. Do not attempt to alter it in any way; you may increase the risk of system malfunction. If the system malfunctions, never attempt any repairs by yourself, it will invalidate your warranty.
