the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of  
the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.  
AC power cord  
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out  
by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.  
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands,  
as this could result in fire or shock.  
- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid  
being bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay  
particular attention to the cord from the unit to the  
power socket.  
- Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords  
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or  
shock.  
Extension cord - To help prevent electric shock, do  
not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension  
cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized  
plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure  
of the blades of the plug.  
When not in use - Unplug the AC power cord from  
the AC outlet or remove all the batteries if the unit  
will not be used for several months or more. When  
the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current  
continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is  
turned off.
