power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard,
the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle,

a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to
have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
