IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this Monster PowerCenter into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated
for safe use on the Monster PowerCenter.
If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied
to your home, please consult your local power company.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
A. Your Monster PowerCenter has a three-wire grounding-type AC plug (a three-prong plug).
This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounding-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit directly inside
your outlet, do not attempt to force it into the outlet. Instead, reverse the plug and reinsert it. If this doesn’t work,
contact a local electrician to install the proper polarized outlet. Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way
(or to alter an extension cord) to make it fit into a two-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature
by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. Instead, call a local electrician to install a properly grounded outlet.
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire
that connects to your PowerCenter, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded.
Use grounding techniques
specified in section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), AASI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian
Electrical Code). This protects against voltage surges and static charges. Do not place any antenna component near
overhead power lines, or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit. Doing so may
cause you severe physical injury and possibly death.
