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
found on the device.
4. Follow Instructions - Follow all operating and use instruction.
5. Cleaning - Shut off and unplug this device from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap or water only. Do not use
ammonia or alcohol-based cleaning agents.
Note: Any equipment connected to this device will not be powered or protected
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-
condensing).
7. Placement - Do not install this device on any unsteady surface. Do not install
this device on any heat source. If the APC unit is not being rack-mounted, place
it on a surface capable of supporting at least 60 lbs.
8, Ventilation - Do not install this device in an area where the vents provided for
cooling purposes may become obstructed.
9. Power - Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded AC power
source. Further ensure the device is plugged into a source providing the
required 120 Vac. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the ground pin of the
AC plug.
10. Polarization - This device has a polarized AC line plug with two blades and a
ground pin. This plug fits into the wall outlet only in one orientation because of
the ground pin. This 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 preclude
them being pinched, frayed, or stepped on. After connecting other devices to
this device, do not push the rear panel of the device up against any surface (wall
or shelving unit), as this may create an undesired bend in the power cords
which may break the wire strands of the cord.
12. Antenna Grounding - Although this device provides protection against
electrical surges, when connecting an outside antenna or cable system to
devices connected to this device, ensure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide additional protection against voltage surges and
static charges in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70 (see illustration - next page).
13. Other Grounding - This device provides a grounding lug at the rear panel for
grounding the device to an external Transient Voltage Surge Suppression
(TVSS) device. Ensure this connection is made in accordance with the
instructions provided by the TVSS device.
14. Lightning - This device employs Metal Oxide Varisters (MOVs), and other
circuitry to protect against lightning and other sources of voltage surges and
sags. It is not necessary to turn this device or the devices connected to this
device, off during a lighting storm.
15. Power Lines - Do not locate outside antenna systems near overhead power
lines, or other electric light or power circuits, or where it may fall or otherwise
come in contact with these power sources. Do not allow the ladder being used,
or the antenna itself to come into contact with these power sources, as such
contact may be fatal.
