 === Power Supply ===
-The BH8-28x power supply shown in Figure 2 is compact and designed to run a hand from a host computer over serial or CAN.  The user should connect all wires which connect to the power supply before turning on power.  A control switch sets RS-232 or CAN mode and accepts control input from the same DB9 connector.  The unit is powered through an AC line cord and provides all the necessary power to the hand.  Internally, an industrial grade power supply called the Synqor !AcuQor provides a semi-regulated 48 V to power the hand.
+The Power Supply for the BH8-SERIES, shown in Figure 2, can be plugged into any regular AC power source.  It provides DC motor bus power (24V), electronic component logic power (5V), and supports RS-232 communications between the host computer (via the serial cable) and the control electronics in the BarrettHand™ palm shell (via the Hand cable).  This Power Supply switches automatically to local voltage standards (95-130 & 190-260 VAC at 50-60Hz) around the globe and contains built-in surge protection.
 
-CAUTION:  Do not try to power previous hand models with this power supply because earlier models were limited to 24 V.  Never provide RS-232 signals while in CAN mode because it can cause damage to the electronics.
+All three cables required to operate the BH8-SERIES connect to the Power Supply:
+ 1. Line Cord supplying AC line voltage.
+ 1. Serial Cable supporting RS-232 communications from the host computer.
+ 1. Hand Cable which carries DC power and RS-232 to the BarrettHand™.
