Safety and regulatory information

Read all safety and regulatory information before installing your device and setting up your

home network connection.

Important safety instructions

Read this before you begin — When using your equipment, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including

the following:

Read all the instructions listed here and/or in the user manual before you operate

this device. Give attention to all safety precautions. Retain the instructions for future

reference.

This device must be installed and used in strict accordance with manufacturer’s

instructions, as described in the user documentation that is included with the device.

Comply with all warning and caution statements in the instructions. Observe all warning

and caution symbols that are affixed to this device.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this device to rain or moisture. The device

must not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids,

such as vases, on the device.

This device was qualified under test conditions that included the use of the supplied

cables between system components. To ensure regulatory and safety compliance, use

only the provided power and interface cables and install them properly.

Different types of cord sets may be used for connections to the main POWER supply

circuit. Use only a main line cord that complies with all applicable device safety

requirements of the country of use.

Installation of this device must be in accordance with national wiring codes and conform

to local regulations.

Operate this device only from the type of power source indicated on the device’s

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult

your dealer or local power company.

Do not overload outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric

shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked

wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire

hazard.

Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items

placed upon or against them. Pay attention to cords where they are attached to plugs

and convenience receptacles; and examine the point where they exit from the device.

Place this device in a location that is close enough to an electrical outlet to

accommodate the length of the power cord.

Place the device to allow for easy access when disconnecting the power cord of the

device from the AC wall outlet.
