Dear Parents,
!
Power packs for toys are not suitable to be used as
toys. The use of power packs must always be done
under the supervision of adults.
Make sure you teach your children to use the power pack
only in the manner described in the instructions.
Make sure that you teach your children about the dangers
of the household current system.
Make sure you inspect the condition of the power pack
and its connections to the wall outlet for damage at regular
intervals (depending on how often the power pack is used
to play with the train), at least once a week. This must be
done with the power pack unplugged from the wall outlet.
If you have the slightest suspicion that there is damage,
the power pack may not be used again until it has been
checked and repaired by the Märklin Repair Department).

1. Safety Notes
Make sure you read the following safety notes before using
a Märklin power pack for the first time:
• The power pack may only be connected to a wall outlet
with voltage that is the same as indicated on the specifi-
cations plate on the power pack.
• The power pack is designed for use in a dry area only.
• The power pack is not a toy. It is used to supply current to
a model railroad layout.
• Never hold the power pack by its power cord when
transporting it.
• Never hold the switched mode power pack by its power
cord or by its connecting cable when transporting it.
• The power cord and the connecting cable to the layout
may not be changed or replaced..
• Check the condition of the power cord regularly and also
check the housing for damage. This visual check may be
carried out only when the power pack is unplugged from
the wall outlet. If you have the slightest suspicion that
there is damage, the power pack may not be used again
until it has been checked and repaired by an authorized
service organization with the appropriate skills (example:
Märklin Repair Department). In this situation make sure
that you dispose of the power pack in the proper manner
or send it to the Märklin Repair Department for exchange.
