IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Your iPOWER

product represents the latest in power management and protection technology.

However, like any electronic device, an inappropriately or improperly installed device may not per-
form as intended. By following a few common sense precautions, your iPOWER

product will give

you a lifetime of worry-free performance.

The following safety precautions apply to all iPOWER

products.  

READ AND OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AT ALL TIMES.

WARNING! Power Source: 

Use only with a 3-prong standard AC outlet or a GROUNDED 2 to

3 prong adapter. iPOWER

products cannot provide power protection without a grounded AC

source. Never use a 3 to 1 adapter plug — this will disable all protection from your iPOWER

unit and will void the Limited Lifetime Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee. 

All rooftop devices connected to your iPOWER

products should be grounded according to

the National Electrical Code (NEC). Do not place any rooftop device where it can come into
contact with power lines or any power circuit.

WARNING! Operating Voltage: 

Any equipment plugged into an iPOWER

product must have

a 120V, 60Hz rating.

WARNING! Power Rating: 

Check the power consumption (watts) of each device that will be

powered by an iPOWER

product. Be sure that the total of all devices being connected does

not exceed 1800 watts.

WARNING! Water and Moisture: 

Do not use any iPOWER

product in an area where it may get

wet, such as near a bathtub, sink, laundry facility, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

WARNING! Ventilation: 

While iPOWER

products do not generate a significant amount of heat,

they should not be placed directly on a bed, rug, or sofa that may obstruct the unit’s natural heat
dissipation abilities.
