Power Source

AC Outlet

This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only.
Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the
system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.

NOTE: The system has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one

narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.

This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility
of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your
AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non­polarized outlet. You should have your outdated
outlet changed by a qualified, licens ed
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 c leaning 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.
