Use the AC polarized line cord included with the unit for operation on AC power. Insert one end of the AC
line cord into the AC power jack on the rear of the unit and the other end (with the 2 blades) into a
conveniently located AC outlet having 120V, 60Hz. When the
AC line cord is plugged in, the batteries will be disconnected.

replace the obsolete outlet.
