suit the AC outlet configuration.
• When connecting to a supply of greater than
AC 125 V, ensure the cord you use is suited
to the voltage of the AC supply and the rated
current of the AC adaptor.
• Contact an electrical parts distributor for
assistance in selecting a suitable AC plug
adaptor or AC cord set.
