Connecting this system to any other power supply could result in damage to the unit which is not covered by your warranty.You will note that this system is equipped with a polarizedAC power plug having one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature. AC Plug AC Outlet If this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug will not fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet. You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician. AC OPERATION 1. Unwind the AC Power Cord completely. 2. Insert the plug into any convenient 120V 60Hz AC outlet. 4 ES28_ib_0321.p65 4 21/3/2002, 11:10 5 LOCATION OF CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 1. POWER On/Off Button. 2.

Be sure to observe the polarity markings which are engraved inside the battery compartment, then close the cover.
