Power Supply

This unit is designed to operate only on normal 120V 60Hz AC house current. Operating this unit from any other power source may cause damage to the unit and such damage is not covered by your warranty.

This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-

polarized outlet. You should have

your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use

an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
