WARNING

This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. The

power adapter that came with your Macintosh PowerBook 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!
