Service Statement
For additional service or parts information, please contact the Shure
Service Department at 1-800-516-2525. Outside the United States, please
contact your authorized Shure Service Center.
*For systems requiring other mains connectors, use a power cord with
an IEC 320 type mating connector for connection to the SCM800, and
an appropriate plug on the other end for connection to the mains. The
supplied cord uses Harmonized IEC Cordage with color coding as fol-
lows: Brown = Line, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Ground.
