Important Safety Instructions

Please read and keep these instructions. Heed and follow all warnings and instructions.

Mains Voltage Selection

The AD9624 and DA9624 converters use an external power supply
(Lucid PS-3 or PS-3E). The choice of power supply determines the
mains voltage required for proper operation. Refer to power supply
markings for the correct AC source value.

Grounding

The chassis of this product is grounded through the grounding
conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power
cord into a properly wired receptacle before making any connections to
the product. A protective ground connection, by way of the grounding
conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe operation. 

Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug

. The grounding plug

has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided
for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
