PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS

CAUTION – Proper Grounding

Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded 3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If your AC outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the Green "Ground OK" light on the front panel

of the Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter™ HTS 3600 will not light up. In this event, call an electrician to fix the problem in your home’s wiring.

Many older buildings are inadequately wired. It’s very common for a building to be improperly grounded. Building wiring and grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the $500,000 Limited Connected Equipment warranty to be valid. If you’re not sure about your home’s wiring, have it checked

by a qualified electrician.

Note to CATV Installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides specific guidelines for proper grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected

to the point of cable entry as practical.
