Fully extend the AC power cord and insert the plug into a polarized AC outlet. Note that this unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This is a safety feature designed to protect you from electric shock. If this plug will not fit into your outlet you may have an outdated, non- polarized outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature by using an adapter, or filing the wider blade on the plug to make it fit into your outlet. Contact a licensed electrician to replace your outdated outlet.
