The symbol with the flash in the triangle is used to indicate health risks,
e.g. because of electric shock.
The exclamation mark in the triangle indicates special risks during han-
dling and operation.
The hand symbol stands for special tips and operating instructions.
4. Safety Notices
Damages caused by non-compliance with this operating manual lead to
an expiration of the warranty! We will not assume any liability for subse-
quent damages!
We will not assume any liability for damages to items or persons
caused by improper handling or non-compliance with the safety
notices! Any guarantee claims will be null and void in such cases.
Dear customer, the following safety and hazard notices not only serve to protect
you health but also the appliance. Read the following points carefully!
For reasons of safety and licensing (CE) it is not allowed to alter respectively
modify the product.
The PC ATX power pack is constructed in protective class 1. The only per-
missible voltage source is an approved grounded socket of the public sup-
ply net.
The power pack features a voltage selection switch for the input voltage (115
V~ or 230 V~).Prior to commissioning, check the setting and select the cor-
rect mains voltage (in Europe 230 V ~). In case of the wrong setting, the
power pack and the connected PC component is destroyed, there is addi-
tional the risk of explosion or fire!! In case of doubt, consult your power sup-
ply company!

14. Tips and Notices
• As already mentioned, the power pack is in standby mode after switching off via the
power button on your ATX housing.
• So it is not separated from the mains! A TV functions similar, for example, when you put
it in standby mode with the remote control.
The power pack still "consumes" electricity in standby mode. In order to save energy,
you should turn the ATX power pack off via the mains switch when you are not using
your computer.
• The same applies of course to all other devices connected to the computer, e.g. moni-
tor, scanner, loudspeakers etc.
Devices without a "real" mains switch (e.g. many loudspeakers, some monitors and all
other devices with a power pack) can be separated from the mains voltage via a socket
shelf with on/off switch.
The standby power consumption of a complete PC system may easily add
up to 50 W. Already after one day, one kWh (1 kilowatt hour) is uselessly
"consumed" and converted to heat.
The purchase of a socket shelf with on/off switch can therefore already pay off after
one year.
Simultaneously turning on all devices (PC, monitor, printer, etc.) may lead to
the blow-out of the fuse of the corresponding circuit as the starting current is
too high.
If this occurs, first turn on the switch of the socket shelf and afterwards the individual
devices one after the other.
Proceed the opposite way when turning off; first turn off the devices and then the socket
shelf.
There are also so-called "power managers" that allow you to comfortably switch on indi-
vidual sockets via switches on the front. You can place such power managers underneath
the monitor, for example.
Ink jet printers first have to be turned off via the on/off switch on the printer
prior to turning off the mains voltage via the socket shelf.
Otherwise the printer cannot put the printer head into the parking position
and the jets of the printer head may dry up.
Some printers should always remain connected to the mains voltage as they
otherwise execute an additional cleaning operation when the mains voltage
returns (meaning when turning on via the socket shelf). The costs for this
senseless waste of ink often exceed the power saving.
