CAUTION: Make certain that you plug the cord into a grounded

!(three-prong) wall outlet. Using an outlet that is not grounded may damage the A1500.

After you have plugged in the A1500, the date and time may be blinking on the display. Your PC sets and maintains the date and time for you. However, if you are using the A1500 as a standalone machine, see “Setting Date and Time” in the Common Procedures chapter.
