• Check to make sure that the Power Console is plugged into an
earthed AC wall socket. Do not use any plug adapters.
• This indicates that the live and neutral (L–N) wires are reversed.
Unplug the Power Console and consult an electrician.

Glossary of Power Terms
AlternatingCurrent(AC):The current that is commonly flowing through
the electrical sockets in your home. It is an electrical current in the form
of a sine wave that oscillates up and down continuously.
Amp: An abbreviation for Ampere. This is a unit of electrical current.
DirectCurrent(DC):An electrical current flowing in one direction only.
DC current does not have a wave form.
ElectromagneticInterference(EMI): Electrical interference generated
by appliances and many other electrical components that cause
degradation of sound and picture quality in audio and video equipment.
Earth: A conducting object, such as a wire, that is connected to a
position of zero-voltage potential. Common connecting points are earth
rods or cold-water pipes that are connected to the Earth.
JouleRating:A measure of electrical energy. The higher the joule
rating, the more electrical surges a device can absorb before failing.
MaximumSpikeCurrent: The maximum current (in Amps) that can be
absorbed before failing. The higher the maximum spike current, the
more current a device can absorb without failing.
RadioFrequencyInterference(RFI): Electromagnetic radiation, which is
emitted by electrical circuits carrying rapidly changing signals as a
by-product of their normal operation, and that causes interference or
noise to be induced in other circuits.
Spike: A very fast transient variation in voltage or current. Many small
transients, over time, cause components to wear and fail.
Surge:An increase in voltage or current significantly above the
designated level in a flow of electricity.
