If the system displays the error message Err 16305 / 80, the unplugging of the main cable can cause an unsafe electrical voltage (125 V DC) at the X10 connector and result in an electrical shock if the user or other persons touch the contact pins of the X10 connector. These contact pins are accessible when the main cable is unplugged from the X10 connector
