GFCI Receptacles
GFCI receptacles protect the user from
electric shock if a ground fault occurs in
equipment connected to the receptacle. A
ground fault occurs when electrical current
takes the shortest path to ground (which
could be through a person) rather than fol-
low its intended safe path.
If a ground fault is detected, the GFCI Reset
button pops out, and the circuit opens to
disconnect power to the faulty equipment.
A GFCI receptacle does not protect against
circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks
not related to ground faults. Reset and test
GFCI receptacle according to the following
procedures.
A solid green LED indicates power to the
GFCI. A solid red LED indicates that the
GFCI has been tripped.
Resetting/Testing GFCI Receptacle
!
Test GFCI monthly.
!
If Red LED blinks, stop using GFCI
receptacle and have a Factory Au-
thorized Service Agent replace it.
!
Extension cords with bad insulation
or of extended length can allow
enough leakage current to trip the
GFCI circuit. Reset and test as
follows.

connect equipment from GFCI receptacle.
