Belkin Power Console

Safety Precautions

WARNING – Grounding and Polarization

This product must be plugged directly into a grounded AC power outlet (3- prong). Do not use a 3-to-2-prong adapter to defeat the grounding pin. Do not plug or “daisy-chain” this product into other electrical products such as surge protectors, power strips, or UPSes. Do not plug this product into an extension cord. Failure to plug this product directly into a grounded outlet may result in personal injury or damage to your equipment. Call a licensed electrician if you are unsure if your AC outlets are properly grounded.

WARNING – Rooftop Antennas and Satellite Dishes

If you use rooftop antennas, satellite dishes, or any other rooftop hardware that connects to your Belkin Power Console, make sure that all the wires leading from these components are properly grounded. This will protect against voltage surges from lightning strikes or static charges.

WARNING – Lightning Storm Protection

Although your Belkin Power Console is built to withstand large power surges, we cannot guarantee that it will protect all of your equipment in the event of a large lightning storm. In the event of a lightning storm, it is best to unplug your Power Console from the wall. Once you have done this, there is no need to unplug any of the equipment that is connected to the Power Console.

WARNING – Water and other Liquids: Shock Hazard

Do not use this product with aquariums or other water-related products. Use indoors and in dry locations only. Do not operate the Power Console if any liquid is spilled on or in the unit. Failure to follow these guidelines could result in serious bodily injury or death.

WARNING – Cleaning

Always unplug the Power Console before cleaning. It is only necessary to clean the Power Console with a clean, dry cloth or duster. Do not use any cleaning solutions, sprays, or water.

WARNING – No User-Serviceable Parts Inside

If for any reason your Power Console is malfunctioning, do not attempt to repair or dismantle the unit in any way. Unplug the unit and consult this User Manual for warranty and service contact information.

WARNING – Power Cord Safety

Do not route the Power Console’s AC power cord near heat sources. This could damage the power cord and cause it to malfunction, creating a shock hazard.

Do not route the Power Console’s AC power cord in heavy foot-traffic areas where it could create a trip hazard (hallways, doorways, across room).

If the power cord is frayed, ripped, cut, or damaged in any way, please discontinue use immediately and refer to the warranty section of this Manual for instructions.
