- Inspect the Cord: Visually inspect the entire length of the power cord for any damage, cuts, or exposed wires. Do not use a damaged cord.
- Connect to Device: Align the polarized C7 connector of the power cord with the power input port on your subwoofer. Gently push the connector firmly into the port until it is fully seated. Do not force the connection.
- Connect to Power Outlet: Plug the 2-prong NEMA 1-15P plug into a standard, grounded AC wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible.
- Power On Device: Once the power cord is securely connected to both the device and the wall outlet, you may power on your device according to its own operating instructions.

5. Operating Instructions
This power cord functions as a conduit for electrical power. Its operation is passive and directly tied to the device it powers.
