AC Power Outlet

Do not use the AC power outlet for electrical
appliances that require high initial peak wattage,
such as cathode-ray tube type televisions,
refrigerators, electric pumps, etc. It is not suitable for
devices that process precise data, such as medical
equipment, and that require an extremely stable
power supply, such as microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

The AC power outlet is designed to supply power for
up to 115 volt appliances that are rated 400 watts or
less.

Continued use of any electrical appliance/device
exceeding these ratings may result in damage to the
appliance/device.

When the AC power outlet is not in use, close the
cover to prevent any small foreign objects from
getting into the AC power outlet.
