MAKING CONNECTIONS

Connecting Devices to the AC Outlets

Be sure that the plugs are inserted all the way into the outlet to ensure a proper electrical connection.
To simplify set-up, make a note as to which components are connected to which outlets. 

IMPORTANT NOTE

All components in a system must be connected to an iPOWER

Power Management System in order for

the system to be protected from electrical disturbances and to realize maximum noise filtration benefits.
This includes AC power cables, coaxial connections, and telephone cables used with pay-per-view 
systems. Failure to do this will degrade system performance and leave it vulnerable to electrical damage.
