Surge Protector Shelf Wall Tap Outlet with USB and Night Light
6
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The wall tap shelf with night light must be
connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live
terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the wall tap shelf with night light is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the wall tap shelf with night light – if
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED WALL TAP SHELF WITH NIGHT LIGHT RATED
LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 125V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The wall tap shelf with night light is for use on a nominal 125V circuit, and should be
connected to a grounding outlet that looks like that illustrated in sketch a. A temporary
adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketch b, may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch b if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.

THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE. Ensure that the wall tap shelf with night light is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
