Do NOT use travel adaptors that don’t have an earth connection.

When using a travel adaptor, please ensure the following;

• The travel adaptor MUST have an earth connection
• The travel adaptor MUST be in good quality condition
• The travel adaptor rating MUST be at least 230volts – 250volts @ 10A – This should be marked on the casing somewhere.
• The travel adaptor must have an Australian State or Territory Approval Mark. E.g. N/00345, Q/12356, V/24512
