Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the power cord into the AC input on the back panel of the main
unit, as shown in Figure l-5. To avoid an electric shock, be sure to plug
this end into the main unit before you plug the other end into a wall
outlet. For now, do not plug the other end of the power cord into an
electrical outlet.
