IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: AC Voltage
Do not plug this Raven Audio device into a power outlet differing
in configuration or voltage from the source indicated for safe use
on the device. If you don’t know the type of electrical power that
is supplied to your home, please consult your local power utility
company for further information.
WARNING: Grounding and Polarization
Your Raven Audio device has a three-prong grounding-type AC
plug. This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounding type
outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit directly inside your outlet, do
not attempt to force it into the outlet.
Never attempt to disassemble or modify the plug in any way or
to use an altered extension cord to make it fit into a two-prong
outlet. The grounding feature is a necessary and important
safety and design feature.
Do not attempt to circumvent it by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter.
If you do not have a properly grounded three prong outlet
available, call a local electrician to install one. Proper grounding
techniques as specified in section 810 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC), AASI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the
Canadian Electrical Code). Doing so will provide protection
against voltage surges and static charges.
