Polarized Plug Notice

This product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than

the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only

one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to

insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an

electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat

the purpose of the polarized plug.
