Safety considerations

Warning!
- USA and Canada - To reduce the risk of
electric shock, the unit's power adaptor
may have a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
- Switch the unit off before installation or
performing any work on the fence.
- Read all the safety considerations
carefully.
