How do I avoid being shocked when connecting this to power my time machine?

Stephen H. Says it best.. What an answer, I AGREE!!!! Magnificent. Mother In Laws are also an option...

Most people don't time travel regularly anyway as it is impossible to fully recover from the shock. And you might not feel you need to, just pedal a little faster and it should help.

You actually don't have to hook it up to a power source...it is the power source! You simply attach the cycle's flywheel to your time machine's flux capacitor with a standard bicycle chain and appropriate gears. Take heed, however, that when you are cycling and your companion is in the machine, you must maintain a steady energy output at all times. Stopping to catch your breath could strand the time traveler in an unwanted historical milieu.

You don't. You have to have a small child that you don't really like connect everything for you. That will pretty much get your time machine working and you stay nice and safe. You'll want to get behind a powerful shield, though, as sometimes random sparks can shoot from the power source and the child. Random magical energies are of course a terrible side effect, so be prepared for that. Remember to brush up on the laws of time travel, stay safe, and have fun!

Never plug a power backup unit such as this into a protector strip. It can cause power surges and other issues.

I do not think you can connect them at the same exact time. I have mine hooked up to a power supply from a computer and that way I can access it as a extra drive when I need it. It has a 500 gig hard drive and that is nice not to have the computer ways spinning the extra platters. steve

I'm confident that the cord will handle that momentary surge, however, I would be more concerned about your power supply/generator being able to handle that surge.

It connects to the alarm panel. Do not try to put 120V to it or it will blow.

Use fresh batteries. It will provide a good shock if your batteries are new. You will also hear it humming louder at the control box.

In practice these things are pretty robust. As long as you do the adjustment while there's no output load (just your meter connected) and don't exceed the maximum rated input voltage, you're unlikely to fry it.EDIT: It sounds like one blew up on you, sorry to hear that. This is surprising to me, since the LM2587 has undervoltage lockout. I bench tested this for my application (dropping the input voltage until the thing turned off) successfully several times under 10W load.

It is backing up to time machine fine on my MacBook Pro. Just plugged in and started using it.

No, Do not buy this. It shocked me when I plugged it in. And the company would not send me a new unit.

Honestly I would just give up and run to an airport or train station and buy a new one from another company. As I said in my review, even when mine was in converter mode, if didn't limit the power like it should. It fried one device, but luckily everything else was dual voltage. If your things are dual voltage, my next question would be are you using it worn an extension cord or power strip, because it doesn't like those. Just make SURE your stuff is rated for the higher volts and plug them straight in.

To avoid missing recordings due to power outages I suggest using a small UPS

Also the go power has a 15 to 20 second delay before switching. Either way you decide to go i would recommend a ups (uninterruptable power supply) for sensitive electronics such as computer, tv, cable boxes, etc....you won't lose power to your equipment and it will protect it from surges as well

Just plug it in - I backed up my entire hard drive. If you have issues - contact their 800 tech desk.

I have not done this but, the directions say to just connect it as a 110 volt system instead of the 220 system and it changes it's self automatically.

Hi SebastianYou will have to conect a cable at watch then to a energy plug. Hope helps you.

The transformer is cheap and it either malfunctioned as soon as it was plugged in or was defective prior to that. I use the cables with a power supply from an old test computer to test both sata and pata hard drives.

No, you Can not!!!You need to plug in some equipment that transforms the energy to 110volts
