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!
