or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cable in any way. Do not attempt to
defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. Do not use extension cords.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles,
exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord
at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit. After connecting other devices to this
device, do not push the rear of the device up against any surface (wall or shelving unit),
as this may create an undesired bend in the power cords which may break the wire
strands of the cord.
Although this device provides protection against electrical surges, when connecting an
outside antenna or cable system to devices connected to this device, ensure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide additional protection against voltage

ANSI/NFPA No.70 (see illustration).
This device provides a grounding lug at the rear panel for grounding the device to an
external Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) device. Ensure this connection is
made in accordance with the instructions provided by the TVSS device.
This device employs Metal Oxide Varisters (MOVs), and other circuitry to protect against
lightning and other sources of voltage surges and sags. It is not necessary to turn this
device or the devices connected to this device, off during a lighting storm.
Do not locate outside antenna systems near overhead power lines, or other electric light
or power circuits, or where it may fall or otherwise come in contact with these power
sources. Do not allow the ladder being used, or the antenna itself to come into contact
with these power sources, as such contact may be fatal.
Do not overload the wall outlet where this device is being connected. Do not overload
this device. Ensure the total load to this device does not exceed that which is listed in the
