The lightwave converter is equipped with a three-wire power cable, in accor-
dance with international safety standards. When connected to an appropriate
power line outlet, this cable grounds the instrument cabinet.

Failure to ground the lightwave converter properly can result in
personal injury. Before turning on the lightwave converter, you must
connect its protective earth terminals to the protective conductor of
the main power cable. Insert the main power cable plug only into a
socket outlet that has a protective earth contact. DO NOT defeat the
earth-grounding protection by using an extension cable, power cable,
or autotransformer without a protective ground conductor. If you are
using an autotransformer, make sure its common terminal is
connected to the protective earth contact of the power source outlet
socket.
Various power cables are available to connect the lightwave converter to the
types of ac power outlets unique to specific geographic areas. The cable
appropriate for the area to which the lightwave converter is originally shipped
is included with the unit. You can order additional ac power cables for use in
different areas.
