It is recommended that the unit be operated from a suitable DC supply or batteries during initial check-out procedures. CAUTION: Before returning the unit to the customer, make sure you make either (1) a leakage current check or (2).a line to chassis resistance check. If the leakage current exceeds 0.5 milliamp, or if the resistance from chassis to either side of the power cord is less than 240 k ohms, the unit is defec- tive. WARNING — DO NOT return the unit to the customer until the problem is located and corrected.Ac Pome ESnnecter TZERLAND (220V) 1 Power Liner PCB8.
