Safety
Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where
one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If
the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it
will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never
take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug
body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.
Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful
not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from
