Proper Grounding and Installation

WARNING – Proper Grounding

Monster PowerCenters™ require a properly grounded 3-wire outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment. If you’re not sure if your home’s electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

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 Limited Connected Equipment Warranty to be valid. If you’re not sure about your home’s wiring, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Power and Protection

To completely protect your equipment against electrical surges, every AC power cable, coaxial cable and phone line in the system must be connected to an appropriate PowerCenter™.

IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty

The Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire (AC, coax, or phone), audio or video interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component that is not properly protected by the PowerCenter™. See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.
