Important Information

10. Grounding or Polarization - This video product is equipped

with either a three prong plug for 110 VAC use or a two prong flat

blade 220 volt type plug. Each type is to be inserted into only the

type of receptacle for which they are specifically designed . Do

not cut off the round grounding pin in order to be able to fit into

a two prong receptacle as this could cause injury and will void the

warranty.
