The
2-prong
polarized
plug
will
fit
into
the

This
is
a
safety
feature.
If
you
are
unable
to
insert
the
plug
fully
into
the
outlet,
try
reversing
the
plug.
If
the

to
replace
your
obsolete
outlet.
Do
not
defeat
the
safety
purpose
of
the
polarized
plug.

them.
Pay
particular
attention
to
plugs
and
the
point
from
which
the

size
of
grounding
conductors,
location
of
antenna
discharge
unit,
connection
to
grounding
electrodes,
and
requirements
for
the
grounding
electrode.
