Safety

1. Power source

—Connect the unit to a power

source of the type described in these instructions or
as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization

—The unit is equipped with a polar-

ized power plug where one blade is wider than the
other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits
into your household AC outlet only one way. If the
plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug
still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the  plug.

3. Power cord protection

—Route the AC power sup-

ply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched
by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of
the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the
plug body firmly when connecting and disconnect-
ing it.

4. Overloading

—When connecting the AC power

supply cord, be careful not to overload the house-
hold AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any
other device as this can result in fire or electric
shock.

5. Nonuse periods

—Turn the unit off when it is not in

use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if
it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit
during lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected
to a household AC outlet for extended periods can
cause battery fluid leakage.

tachments and accessories recommended in these
operating instructions.
