This equipment may have two power sources. Be sure to disconnect all power 
sources before working on this equipment. 
 
If this equipment does not have a main power switch, the power cord connector 
serves as the disconnect device. 
 
Always pull on the plug or the connector to disconnect a cable. Never pull on the 
cable itself. 
Connection to Network Power Sources 
Refer to this equipment’s specific installation instructions in this manual or in 
companion manuals in this series for connection to network ferro-resonant AC 
power sources. 
AC Power Shunts 
AC power shunts may be provided with this equipment. 
Important: The power shunts (where provided) must be removed before installing 
modules into a powered housing. With the shunts removed, power surge to the 
components and RF-connectors is reduced. 
    CAUTION: 
RF connectors and housing seizure assemblies can be damaged if shunts are not 
removed from the equipment before installing or removing modules from the 
housing. 
Grounding (Utility AC Powered Equipment in Pedestals, Service Closets, etc.)   
This section provides instructions for verifying that the equipment is properly 
grounded. 
Safety PlugsUSA Only   
This equipment is equipped with either a 3-terminal (grounding-type) safety plug or 
a 2-terminal (polarized) safety plug. The wide blade or the third terminal is provided 
for safety. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type or polarized safety 
plug. 
To properly ground this equipment, follow these safety guidelines: 
Grounding-Type Plug   
For a 3-terminal plug (one terminal on this plug is a protective grounding pin), insert 
the plug into a grounded mains, 3-terminal outlet. 
Note: This plug fits only one way. If this plug cannot be fully inserted into the outlet, 
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete 3-terminal outlet.
