Grounding Instructions

The DC013 (230 V) charger/radio must be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The charger/radio are equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conduct or can result
in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal. Repairs shall only be performed by D
service agent. Do not modify the plug provided with the charger/radio – if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED CHARGER/RADIO RATED 10A AND LOWER
AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 230 V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The charger/radio is for use on a nominal 230 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that
