Safety Information  
For national approvals (approval schemes other than CB),  
relevant national standards for plug, socket-outlet, and direct  
plug-in units (for example, US) shall also be consulted while  
testing and approving such products according to national  
standards.  
AC input rating (NA): 100–125V, 0.2A (max.); 50–60 Hz excluding  
socket-outlet rating.  
AC input rating (AU, UK, FR, EU): 200–250V, 0.2A (max.),  
50–60 Hz excluding socket outlet rating.  
XAVB6504 ratings (maximum load): EU: 16A, 250V;  
UK: 13A, 250V; FR: 16A, 250V; NA: 15A, 125V;  
AU: 10A, 250V.  
Operating temperature: 0–40°C.  
Check the electrical current for any device plugged into the  
filtered AC socket. Do not exceed home and product outlet  
ratings and electrical requirements.  
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and be  
easily accessible.  
Only power cords are allowed to be inserted into the filtered AC  
outlet; no other equipment with a direct plug-in is allowed. The

power cord needs to be a maximum of 1 m long and a minimum  
of 0.75 mm2 of cross-sectional area.  
Do not plug devices that exceed the product ratings into the  
XAVB6504 filtered AC outlets. The output voltage of the filtered  
AC outlet is the same as the power outlet that the XAVB6504  
adapter is plugged into. To help avoid damaging your system, be  
sure that the attached devices are electrically rated to operate  
with the power available in your location.  
If the input AC voltage is less than 100 AC, the device plugged  
into the filtered AC socket of the XAVB6504 adapter might not  
perform as well as expected.  
DO NOT PLUG MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES into the filtered AC  
socket or into an attached power strip. The device is not intended  
to be used with home appliances such as air conditioners, power  
tools, space heaters, fans, hair dryers, ovens, or refrigerators.
