unit for any considerable length of
time, disconnect the plug from the
AC outlet. Do not place furniture or
other heavy objects on the cord,
and try to avoid dropping heavy
objects upon it. Also do not make
a knot in the power cord. Not only
may the cord be damaged, it can
also cause a short circuit with a
consequent fire hazard.
