POLARIZATION INSTRUCTIONS

Power Cord, 2-Wire Polarized Cord
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
