This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the unit is properly
grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug,
and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should
be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the unit.
To operate the unit using AC power, connect the AC Adapter to the DC 12V IN jack
the AC cord to the adapter and then to a wall outlet having 120V AC, 60Hz only.
