14 ACE POWER REQUIREMENT: 9V RMS AC or DC at 600mA UK MAINS POWER ADAPTOR: 220/240V AC Nominal, 50/60Hz For other supplies please use a Mains Adaptor with 9V output as above to suit your local mains supply and meeting all local safety regulations with a standard 2.1mm * 5.5mm * 12mm plug. Polarity is unimportant. SAFETY NOTE: Power source maximum voltage 10VAC or 12VDC. Current rating from 600mA to 1Amp if 9V. 600mA Maximum if 12V. The adaptor must be fully isolated and self-protected against overload. PLEASE NOTE: The ACE has been designed to meet all relevant standards but the performance of the ACE may be impaired if it is subjected to strong RF fields or irregular mains voltage supplies. Screened cables should always be used for all inter-connections. GUARANTEE Any defects which appear under proper use in the ACE or accessories within a period of twelve months after delivery and which are due to faulty materials, workmanship or design will be made good by us either by repair or, at our option, by replacement, with free postage back to you, provided that the ACE or accessories are returned to us, carriage paid and suitably packaged, within the twelve month period, together with a claim in writing with proof of the purchase date. You are also advised to use a means of transport providing proof of delivery in case of loss in transit. Please check carefully as return postage is charged if no fault is found! Except for any liability which we may incur for death or personal injury resulting from negligence or under Part 1 of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (UK) we shall not be liable in any way whatsoever whether in contract, or in tort, in misrepresentation or under statute or common law or otherwise for any consequential or other loss, damage or injury however caused and whether caused by our negligence which may arise out of or in connection with supply of the ACE and accessories to you.
