Separately Ordered AC Plugs
| Australian plug |
AC PLUG-AU3, for GE40I only. |
| UK plug |
AC PLUG-UK, compatible with GE12I / GE18I / GE24I / GE30I / GE40I. |
| European plug |
AC PLUG-EU, compatible with GE12I / GE18I / GE24I / GE30I / GE40I. |
| US plug |
AC PLUG-US, compatible with GE12I / GE18I / GE24I / GE30I / GE40I. |
| Four-region set |
AC PLUG-MIX3, for GE40I: Australian AU3, UK, European and US plug types. |
Use AC PLUG-AU3 for the GE40I Australian configuration and AC PLUG-MIX3 for its four-region set. AC PLUG-MIX is for the GE12I / GE18I / GE24I / GE30I group. The GE40I Australian plug must not be used on that lower-power group.
Plug shape does not change the adapter Class II construction or create a functional-ground connection. The interchangeable AC plug and DC output connector are different parts.
