OUTLET BOX
ADAPTER
METAL SCREW
Connect the power cord and charger to a nominal 110-220 AC volt circuit. The indicator lamp should blink red,
indicating stand-by mode. If the power light on the charger fails to light, an internal fuse may have blown and
must be serviced by the manufacturer. Return the charger for repair or replacement immediately.
A temporary adapter can be used to
connect the grounding plug to a
properly grounded two-prong outlet.
A 110-volt adapter is shown below.
Connect the grounding plug on the
adapter to the outlet box using the
cover plate screw. Use the temporary
adapter only until a properly grounded,
three-prong outlet can be installed by a
qualied electrician.
POWER CORD CONNECTION
WARNING
Never alter an AC cord or its plug. If it does not fit into your outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualied electrician. An improper connection can cause an electric shock. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, the charger must be grounded.
WARNING
Before using an adapter, ensure that the outlet box is grounded. If you are not sure the box is grounded,
have it checked and repaired, if necessary, by a qualified electrician.
