The 1256 is grounded in accordance with MIL-T-28800, protecting
the user from possible injury due to shorted circuits.
CAUTION
Use only AC power outlets that have a protective
ground. DO NOT USE a two-conductor extension cord
or 3-prong to 2-prong adapter that does not provide a
protective ground connection.
The rear-panel AC input socket provides a protective ground
terminal. The 1256 is supplied with a detachable 3-conductor
power cord that connects to this protective terminal. Only this cord,
or an equivalent, should be used. Connection of the power cord to
the power outlet must be made in accordance with the following
standard color code:

CAUTION
Position the 1256 to allow easy access to the power
switch on the rear-panel. This switch completely
disconnects both sides of the AC power mains.
CAUTION
Using this equipment in a manner not specified in this
manual may impair the protection it normally
provides.
