IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this PowerCenter ™ into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the
PowerCenter. ™ If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, consult your local power
company or a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
A. Do not force your PowerCenter ™ plug into an outlet that is not designed to accept a three-wire grounded-type AC
plug (a three-prong plug). This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounded-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 the power cord). Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. If you have
questions about grounding, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.
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 voltage surges and static charges.
C. Do not place any antenna near overhead power lines or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power
circuit. Doing so may cause severe physical injury or possibly death.
WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks
A. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter ™ if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter ™ near rain or water that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub,
kitchen or sink).
