Accessories
Do not use accessories with this set-top unless
recommended by your cable service provider.
Overloading

cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
For equipment that requires battery power or
other sources to operate, refer to the operating
instructions for that equipment.
Lightning and Power Surges
Ground (earth) your cable system to provide
some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Plug your set-top into a
surge protector to reduce the risk of damage
from lightning strikes and power surges. If you
have questions, call your cable service provider.
Power Cord Protection
Arrange all power cords so that people cannot
walk on the cords, place objects on the cords,
or place objects against the cords, which can
damage the cords. Give particular attention to
the cords at the point at which the cord con-
nects to the plug, at electrical outlets, and at the
places where the cords exit the set-top.
Power Sources
A label on this set-top indicates the correct
power source for this set-top. Operate this set-
top only from an electrical outlet that has the
voltage and frequency that the label indicates.
If you are unsure of the type of power supply to
your residence, consult your cable service
provider or your local power company.
Power Cord Polarization
This set-top has a two-prong plug. Properly
ground (earth) this set-top by inserting the plug

one narrow prong. This plug fits only one way.
If you are unable to insert this plug fully into the
outlet, contact an electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet.
