•  Unplug equipment before cleaning. Don’t use liquid or spray detergent; use 

a moist cloth.

•  The unit is heavy. Therefore when installing, place the rack drawer on a 

sturdy, level surface to prevent it from accidentally falling and causing 
damage to other equipment or injury to persons nearby.

•  Both the AdderView RDX Rack Drawer and its power supply generate 

heat when in operation and will become warm to the touch. Do not 
enclose them or place them locations where air cannot circulate to cool 
the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures 
exceeding 35º Celcius (95º Fahrenheit). Do not place the products in contact 
with equipment whose surface temperature exceeds 35º C (95º F).

•  Ensure that the power adaptor is mounted so that neither its cables nor 

connectors are stressed.

•  Observe all precautions and warnings attached to the equipment.
•  Warning - live parts contained within power adapter.
•  No user serviceable parts within power adapter - do not dismantle.

• 

Plug the power adapter into a socket outlet close to the rack drawer.

• 

Replace the power adapter with a manufacturer approved type only. 

• 

Do not use the power adapter if the power adapter case becomes damaged, 
cracked or broken or if you suspect that it is not operating properly.

• 

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself.

•  Not suitable for use in hazardous or explosive environments or next to highly 

flammable materials.

•  If you use a power extension cable, make sure the total ampere rating of the 

devices plugged into the extension cable do not exceed the cable’s ampere 

rating. Also, make sure that the total ampere rating of all the devices 

plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere 

rating.
