7.1 Cleaning
The exterior of the power source may be cleaned with a cloth dampened with a mild detergent
and wrung out. Disconnect mains power to the source before cleaning. Do not spray water or
other cleaning agents directly on the power source.
7.2 General
This section describes the suggested maintenance and troubleshooting procedures. The
troubleshooting procedure is divided into two sections. The first section deals with basic
