Plugs

and

If

a

receptacle

(power

outlet)

that

you

intend

to

use

with

your

computer

equipment

appears

to

be

damaged

or

corroded,

do

not

use

the

outlet

replaced

by

a

qualified

electrician.

Do

not

bend

or

If

the

damaged,

contact

the

Do

not

share

an

electrical

commercial

appliances

that

draw

large

amounts

of

electricity;

otherwise,

unstable

voltage

might

damage

your

computer,

devices.

Some

products

are

equipped

with

a

three-pronged

plug.

This

plug

fits

only

into

a

grounded

electrical

outlet.

This

is

a

safety

feature.

Do

not

defeat

this

safety

feature

by

trying

to

insert

it

into

a

non-grounded

outlet.

If

you

cannot

insert

the

plug

into

the

outlet,

contact

an

electrician

for

an

approved

outlet

adapter

or

to

replace

the

outlet

with

one

that

enables

this

safety

feature.

Never

overload

an

electrical

outlet.

The

overall

system

load

should

not

exceed

80

percent

of

the

branch

circuit

rating.

Consult

an

electrician

for

more

information

if

you

have

questions

about

power

loads

and

branch

circuit

ratings.

Be

sure

that

the

power

outlet

you

are

using

is

properly

wired,

easily

accessible,

and

located

close

to

the

equipment.

Do

not

fully

extend

power

cords

in

a

way

that

will

stress

the

Be

sure

that

the

power

outlet

provides

the

correct

and

current

for

the

product

you

are

installing.

Carefully

connect

and

disconnect

the

equipment

from

power

is

on;

otherwise,

you

might

damage

your
