PolARIzAtIon InstRUCtIons

Power Cord, 2-Wire Polarized Cord

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power 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 a qualified
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to

cause cancer.

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to

cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
