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 electri-

cian to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety

purpose of the plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply 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 disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful

not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any

other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

The illustrations show RC-7200.

Before connecting, operating or adjusting this product, please read these
