WARNING

The Notebook Power receptacle is “LIVE” whenever WavePort is plugged into a live AC power source.
The Module Power Switch can not be used to turn this receptacle “Off.”

WavePort contains no user serviceable components. Do not remove WavePort’s cover plate.
Lethal voltages are present which could cause serious injury or death.

Although WavePort can be powered from external DC or internal batteries, we are only concerned at this point
with powering the system via 100 to 240 VAC through its Line Input receptacle.

Simply connect the female-end of power cable CA-1, IEC to WavePort’s Line Input receptacle, and connect the
male-end of the cable to an appropriate 100 to 240 VAC power supply.

After cable CA-1 is connected to both WavePort and the AC power supply, turn the Module Power Switch to
“ON.”

Note that DC power supplies are discussed in the following chapter entitled, Hardware and Operation Reference.
