CAUTION
If there is any question about
the grounding of your recep-
tacle, have it checked by a
qualified electrician. Do not
cut off the power cord grounding prong,
or alter the plug in any way. If an exten-
sion cord is needed, use a three-wire
cord that is in good condition. The cord
should have an adequate power rating
to do the job safely. It must be plugged
into a grounded receptacle. Do not use a
two-wire extension cord with this product.
CAUTION
If you have a two-prong elec-
trical receptacle, we strongly
recommend that you replace
it with a properly grounded
three-prong type. Have a qualified elec-
trician replace it following the National
Electric Code and any local codes and
ordinances that apply.
See Figures 2–1 and 2–2.
Electrical Safety
Domestic Power Grounding
For safety, the power cords used on this product have a
three-wire, grounding-type power cord. Figure 2-1 il-
lustrates the appropriate electrical outlet to use with the
power cord that is included with systems shipped to North
America.
International Power Grounding
The power cable normally provided for international use is
compatible with the power outlet used in many Continen-
tal European countries (Refer to Figure 2–2.) However,
if your application requires another type of power cord,
check with your equipment supplier, and follow local reg-
ulations concerning proper wiring and grounding.
