I have just unpacked my Stylewriter 4100, 4500 or 6500 and there seems to be a plastic tab (similar to those used to attach price tags to clothing and other itmes) inserted in the holes of the AC power plug. This tab seems to prevent me from plugging the cord into the AC outlet. Should I remove it?
Yes, remove the plastic tab. Simply cut the tab in half (between the two prongs), or bend the short end so you can slide it through the holes in the prongs. Be careful not to damage the power cord.
