on the bottom of the pump.

Plug the AC mains adaptor into a standard wall outlet.

using the AC mains adaptor. USE ONLY AC mains adaptors
specifically labeled for use with the GemStar® Pump.
When removing the cord from the bottom of the pump, firmly
grasp the connector and pull straight out. DO NOT twist or bend
the cord or connector.
Ensure two fresh, disposable AA batteries are installed for backup
power when using other power sources (e.g., AC Mains adaptor,
docking station, battery pack). The pump will continue to operate
on backup power if the external power source fails. Refer to the
caution regarding Power Loss on page 13.
