MAKING CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE

All components in a system must be connected to an iPOWERPower Management System in order for the system to be protected from electrical disturbances and to realize maximum noise filtration benefits. This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, and telephone cables used with pay-per-view systems. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.

Connecting Devices to the AC Outlets

Be sure that the plugs are inserted all the way into the outlet to ensure a proper electrical connection. To simplify set-up, make a note as to which components are connected to which outlets.

Connecting to Coaxial Lines

For coaxial line connection, use the (1) RG-6 cable included with your AC-8CX to make connections to your DBS tuner, or any other device requiring a high quality connection. The premium cable is quad-shielded, has gold-plated F connectors, and will provide superior performance. Be sure to follow the markings on the AC-8CX that indicate IN (from the signal source), and OUT (to the component). Your AC-8CX, equipped with iDefinitionconstant impedance technology, will provide protection from virtually all types of electrical surges while preserving the integrity of the source signal. Plus, the coax circuit is fully Cable TV, DSS, DTV and HDTV compatible.
