1. Make sure all machine switches are OFF before plugging equipment into the receptacle.
2. Make sure the wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power supply cord.
3. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
