IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

WARNING – Power Sources

Do not plug this Component into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the Component. 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

Do not force the Component 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 the outlet, do not attempt to

force a connection.. 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.

This Wattbox™ component requires a properly grounded outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment. If you’re not sure if your

home’s electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

If any rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire being used that connects to the

Component, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. This protects against voltage surges and static charges.

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

Do not operate the Component if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit. Do not operate the Component near rain or water

that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub, kitchen or sink).

WARNING – Power Cord Safety

When routing the Component’s AC power cord, do not place it near heavy foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways, doorways, and floors). Do

not create a trip hazard with the power cord.

If the power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray, exposing the internal wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect it from the AC power

source and discontinue use of the Component immediately. See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important

details.

WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside

If, for any reason, the Component is not operating properly, do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.) for repair. Unplug the unit

and consult the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.

CAUTION – Exposure To Heat

Do not expose the Component to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or any enclosed space prone to

temperature increase.

CAUTION – Proper Cleaning

In general, the only cleaning necessary for the Component is a light dusting. Unplug the Component from the wall outlet before

cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
