*For systems requiring other mains connectors, obtain a power cord with
an IEC 320 type mating connector for connection to the SCM810, and an
appropriate plug on the other end for connection to the mains. The sup-
plied cord uses Harmonized IEC Cordage with color coding as follows:
Brown = Line, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Ground.
