contact your local electric utility company if you have any
questions about the electrical voltage at your intended location
of use.
Polarisation
The product may be equipped with a polarised alternating-
current line plug, a safety feature. As one blade is wider than
the other, this plug can only fit into the power outlet in one
way. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not force the plug into the
outlet.
Power-cord Protection

traffic or other hazards. Pay particular attention to the area
near the plug head, the power source outlet and the connection
from the product.

Unplug the product from the power source during lightning
storms or if unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
lightning and power-line surge damage to the product.

shock.
