plug must be properly connected to the ground connector of the wall outlet. The wall outlet
must have a third prong, or must be properly connected to an adapter that complies with

hazardous (and potentially lethal) voltages. It contains no
user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to operate it with the
covers removed.
WARNING!
Replacement power cords or power plugs must have the same
polarity and power rating as that of the original ones to avoid hazard
due to electrical shock.
