WARNING
Any device that you connect must have a suit-
able plug and meet U.S. standards. Never pull
at a cable to disconnect a plug from a 115 V
AC power socket. Never use a damaged con-
nection cable. The 115 V AC power socket
must never be connected to another 115 V AC
power source. Do not use a converter with an
earthed plug for the 115 V AC power socket.
This could cause serious injury to you and/or
other people.

WARNING
If the 115 V AC power socket is damaged or
pulled out of the trim, do not use or touch the
115 V AC power socket. The use of a 115 V AC
power socket that has been damaged or
pulled out of the trim could cause serious
injury to you or others.
115 V power socket : provides an AC voltage
of 115 V so that small electronic devices can be
connected. These devices, such as games con-
soles, chargers and laptops, should not con-
sume more than a maximum of 150 W alto-
gether.
