User’s Guide 3 

Ground the cable system.

  Be sure the outside cable system is 

grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up 
static charges.  Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 
70-1984 (section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) provides 
information with respect to proper grounding of the cable system.  Always 
refer to local building codes to ensure compliance with all applicable 
grounding requirements. 

Do not connect or disconnect the RF coax cable to or from your 
access appliance while it is plugged into the power source. 
Unplug the power adaptor before cleaning.

  Do not use liquid 

cleaner or any aerosol cleaner.  Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. 

Protect from lightning. 

 For added protection for this product during a 

lightning storm, unplug the all devices from the coaxial cable and power 
sources when they are not in use, especially for any extended time. 

Wait at least 10 seconds after disconnecting the power adaptor 
before re-connecting it
