AC Plug
AC Outlet
POWER SOURCE
This system is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC house current only.
Attempting to operate this system from any other power source may cause damage
to the system, and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
Unwind theAC power cord and connect the AC plug to yourAC outlet.
NOTE:
This unit has a polarizedAC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This
plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to
reduce the possibility of electric shock.
If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized
outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed
electrician.
Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into
your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
