Connecting The AC Power Cord

AC Outlet

This system is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC power only. Connecting this system to any other power supply may cause damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty.

1. Unwind the AC Power Cord completely.

2. Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet.

CAUTION !!

This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet c hanged by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

AC Plug

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE !!

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
