Caution Be sure that the power supply is of the same voltage as specified
on the nameplate.
Be sure that the wall receptacle is readily identifiable and easily reached to
disconnect the unit from the power source.

The power cord of this instrument is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard. The
user should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. Where a two-
prong receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the user to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle.
Warning Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use a two-prong adapter
plug.
s
Determine the total amount of current presently being used by other
equipment connected to the circuit that will be used for this unit. It is
critical that the added current demand by this appliance and other
equipment on the circuit not exceed the rating of the fuse or circuit
breaker in use.
