Cord Selection for Operation in USA and Canada

Use a detachable electrical cord with national certification (type SVT or SJT). One end terminates in a NEMA-style attachment plug rated for supply voltage (120V or 240V), and the other end attaches to an IEC 320-type appliance coupler.

Warning This unit might have more than one power cord. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the two power supply cords before servicing the unit.
