reduce the likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a polarized
AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug you’re your outlet, you may have an
obsolete non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to defeat this safety feature by using a
non-polarized adaptor or by filling the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug

your obsolete outlet.
AC Plug
AC Outlet
DC Operation:
Install eight (8) “C” size batteries (not included) into the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit as the polarity marking inside the battery compartment.
Note: when the AC cord is plug in the unit. Battery power will be cut off automatically.
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.
