The above sequence of steps guarantees user’s safety and reduces the risk of damage due to electrostatic charges. It also avoids the storage of the FREQUENCY OF APPLIANCE INCORRECT (EH1 or EB1 in Fabric Care appliances) alarm that is generated when the board is supplied by the interface module instead of the mains power supply (230 VAC). VERY IMPORTANT NOTE! Since the interface module is able to power the electronic board even if the appliance is not connected to the mains supply, the appliance may detect false alarm conditions if the adapter is turned on before the appliance.

For this reason you should ALWAYS turn on the appliance under test BEFORE turning on the adapter and connecting it to the Personal Computer. Conversely, you should ALWAYS turn off the adapter and disconnect it from the Personal Computer BEFORE turning off the appliance under test. © 2012 Electrolux Italia S.p.A., All rights reserved 27 File: SidekickPC Manual (EN).pdf - Date: 20/04/2012
