Wa

rning:

This equipment is intended to be electrically

grounded. Y

our Macintosh is equipped with a

three-wire

grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin.

This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety

feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a

properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the

grounding plug!
