2. Safety Information

Your safety is paramount. Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the device. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the equipment.

• Always connect the power supply to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not operate the device in wet or damp conditions.
• Ensure proper ventilation. The built-in cooling fan requires unobstructed airflow.
• The HM310 is equipped with multiple protection features including:
  • OCP (Overcurrent Protection): Automatically cuts off output if current exceeds set limits.
  • OVP (Overvoltage Protection): Protects connected devices from excessive voltage.
  • OTP (Over-temperature Protection): Shuts down if internal temperature becomes too high.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the power supply. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Avoid touching the output terminals when the unit is powered on.
