Safety Information

1.Read this manual - Read all of the safety and operating instructions before installing and operating this device.

2.Keep this manual - Retain this manual, and all of the safety information that came with this device.

3.Warnings - Comply with all warnings presented in this manual, as well as any warnings found on the device.

4.Follow Instructions - Follow all instructions that pertain to operating and using the this device.

5.Cleaning - Shut off and unplug this device from the wall outlet, and discon- nect the battery before cleaning. Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Note: Any equipment connected to this device will not be powered or pro- tected from uninterrupted service during this process.

6.Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near any source of water, or in an environment where the relative humidity may exceed 95% (non-con- densing).

7.Placement - Do not install this device on an unsteady surface. Do not install this device on any type of heat source.

8, Ventilation - Do not install this device in an area where the device’s vents, provided for cooling purposes, may become blocked and impede air flow.

9.Power - Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded AC power source. Further ensure the device is plugged into a source that provides the required 120 Vac. Do not use a plug adapter to defeat the AC plug ground pin.

10.Polarization - This device has a polarized AC line plug and one blade is wider than the other. This plug will only fit into the wall outlet in one orien- tation, which is a safety feature. Do not remove the round grounding pin, or use an adapter that defeats this safety feature.

11.Power Cord - Ensure power cords are routed in a manner that will ensure they are not pinched, frayed, or stepped on. After connecting other devices to this device, do not push the rear of the device up against any surface (wall or shelving unit). This can cause power cords to bend excessively, which can break the strands of wire inside the cord.

12.Antenna Grounding - Although this device provides protection against electrical surges, if you are connecting an outside antenna or cable system to this device, ensure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide addi- tional protection against voltage surges and static discharges in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70 (and as shown in the illustration on the next page).

13.Other Grounding - This device provides a grounding lug on the rear panel for grounding the device to an external transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) device. Ensure these ground connections are made in accordance with the instructions provided with the TVSS device.

14.Lightning - This device employs metal oxide varisters (MOVs), and other circuitry to protect against lightning and other sources of sudden voltage surges and sags. It is not necessary to turn this device off, or the devices con- nected to this device off during a lighting storm.
