IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.

WARNING – Power Sources

Do not plug your Monster PowerCenter into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the Monster PowerCenter. If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, please consult your local power company.

WARNING – Grounding and Polarization

A. Your Monster PowerCenter has a three-wire grounding-type AC plug (a three-prong plug). This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounding-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit directly inside your outlet, do not attempt to force it into the outlet. [Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way (or to alter an extension cord) to make it fit into a two-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. Instead, call a local electrician to install a properly grounded outlet.]

B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire that connects to your PowerCenter, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. Use grounding techniques specified in Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code). This protects against harmful voltage surges and static discharges. Do not place any part of an antenna near overhead power lines, or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit. Doing so may cause you severe physical injury and possibly result in death.
