2. Important Safety Warnings
- Choking Hazard: Not suitable for children under 3 years. Due to the inclusion of small parts, keep away from children under three.
- Adult Supervision: To be used under the direct supervision of an adult.
- Power Disconnection: Always ensure that the installation of powered products is carried out when the power is OFF. Before connecting, double-check that the power supply is disconnected.
- Professional Installation: If you are unsure about wiring or electrical connections, consult a qualified electrician.
- Operational Errors: The manufacturer is not responsible for any losses caused by operational errors or improper installation.
- Manual Dexterity: Please ensure you have a certain level of manual dexterity and understanding of basic electrical connections before purchasing and using this product.
- Damage: Do not use the cable if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Setup and Installation
This cable is designed for custom power connections. The stripped end allows for direct wiring into a device.
- Identify Wires: The stripped end of the cable typically contains two wires: a brown wire (live/phase) and a blue wire (neutral).
- Prepare Device: Ensure the device you are connecting the cable to is powered off and disconnected from any power source. Refer to your device's manual for specific wiring instructions.
- Connect Wires: Carefully connect the brown and blue wires from the extension cable to the corresponding power input terminals on your device. Ensure connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.

- Inspect Connections: Double-check all connections to ensure they are firm, correctly matched, and free from any exposed wire that could cause a short circuit.
- Secure Cable: Ensure the cable is routed safely and not subject to strain or sharp bends.
4. Operating Instructions
Once the cable is securely wired to your device:
- Plug the EU 2-pin plug into a compatible 220-250V EU wall socket.
- Turn on the power to the wall socket, if applicable.
- Your device should now receive power.
5. Maintenance and Care
- Keep the cable dry and away from moisture or liquids.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable or subjecting it to excessive bending or pulling.
- Regularly inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or discoloration.
- Clean the cable with a dry, soft cloth if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
6. Troubleshooting
If your device is not receiving power:
- No Power:
- Ensure the EU plug is fully inserted into the wall socket.
- Check if the wall socket is live (e.g., by plugging in another known working appliance).
- Verify that the internal wiring connections to your device are secure and correct.
- Ensure your device's power switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Cable Damage: If the cable itself shows any signs of damage (cuts, exposed wires, burns), immediately discontinue use and replace it. Do not attempt to repair damaged electrical cables.
