a properly grounded outlet. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page 7.) Use only a UL-listed

surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or less in length.

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console. (See

HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER on page 8.)

power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit

breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five

minutes and then press the switch back in.
