GETTING STARTED
• This system is designed to operate on AC100V~240V 60/50Hz house current only.

Power Source
Note: The system has an AC plug and will only t into matching AC outlets. This is a safety feature to reduce the
possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not t in your AC outlets, you should have the outlet changed by a
qualied, licensed electrician. Do not use an adapter to make the plug t into your outlet. This defeats the safety
feature and could expose you to electric shock.
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you
operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formu-
lated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based
furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften,
and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we
strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores
and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber
'feet' before you place the product on ne wooden furniture.
