instructions carefully.

below.

Safety
1. Power Source— The unit should be connected to
power supply only of the type described in the
operating instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization— If the unit is equipped with a
polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection —AC power supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord
if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body
when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods —When the unit is not used, turn
the power off. When left unused for a long period
of time, the unit should be unplugged from the
household AC outlet.
