In order to prevent damage once installed, it is important that this device and all devices connected to 
• 
it are properly grounded.
As a safety feature, the device is equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug.  If you are unable to insert the 
• 
plug into an outlet, please contact an electrician to repair/replace the outlet.  You should never attempt 
to override or modify the plug.  Always follow your local and/or national wiring codes.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables.  Make sure the power cord and cables are 
• 
in a location that prevents them from being stepped on or tripped over.
If an extension cord is used with this device add the total ampere rating of each product plugged into 
• 
the extension cord and verify that the total does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cord.  
Additionally, make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not 
exceed 15 amperes.
To protect the system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge 
• 
suppressor, line conditioner, or un-interruptible power supply (UPS).
Position the system and power cables carefully.  Make sure that nothing rests on any of the cables.
• 
Do not push objects of any kind into or through the cabinet slots.  Pushing objects through the slots 
• 
poses an electrical and shock hazard.
Do not attempt to service the device yourself.  Only qualified service personnel should attempt to 
• 
service the device.
