RLC-1040 

Power Conditioner

Inspect the line cords. telephone/data cords, or DSS/Cable TV coaxial cables connected 
to this device to ensure they remain fully pushed in or attached, and that they are not 
frayed or otherwise damaged.

Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced by a 
qualified service agency if:

•  The power supply cord or plug has been damaged. 
•  Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit. 
•  The unit has been exposed to rain. 
•  The unit shows signs of improper operation 
•  The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way

Place the unit on a fixed, level surface strong enough to support its 
weight. Do not place it on a moveable cart that could tip over.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing 
to qualified service personnel.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, be sure that the 
apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no 
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. 
Do not use this product in an environment where the relative humidity 
may exceed 95% (non-condensing).

Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed 
to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately 
disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified 
service person for inspection and necessary repairs.

Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Keep this manual 
so you can refer to these safety instructions.

Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. 
Follow all operating instructions.

Unplug this device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean the enclosure only with a 
dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner. 

Note:

 A product that is meant for uninterrupted service 

and for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code 
for a cable TV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any 
other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging this device.

You must allow 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed clearance around 
the unit.

 Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block 

the ventilation slots. If the component is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must be 
ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling. 

Keep the component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other appliance 
that produces heat.

The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage specified 
on the rear panel of the unit. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the ground pin 
of the AC plug.

Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable 
or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cable in any way. Do not attempt to 
defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. Do not use extension cords. 

Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, 
exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord at 
the plug and where it connects to the back of the unit. After connecting other devices to 
this device, do not push the rear of the device up against any surface (wall or shelving 
unit), as this may create an undesired bend in the power cords which may break the 
wire strands of the cord.

Although this device provides protection against electrical surges, when connecting an 
outside antenna or cable system to devices connected to this device, ensure the antenna 
or cable system is grounded so as to provide additional protection against voltage 
surges and static charges in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, 
ANSI/NFPA No.70 or later (see illustration).

This device provides a grounding lug at the rear panel for grounding the device to an 
external Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) device. Ensure this connection is 
made in accordance with the instructions provided by the TVSS device.

This device employs Metal Oxide Varisters (MOVs), and other circuitry to protect against 
lightning and other sources of voltage surges and sags. It is not necessary to turn this 
device or the devices connected to this device, off during a lighting storm.

Do not locate outside antenna systems near overhead power lines, or other electric light 
or power circuits, or where it may fall or otherwise come in contact with these power 
sources. Do not allow the ladder being used, or the antenna itself to come into contact 
with these power sources, as such contact may be fatal.

Do not overload the wall outlet where this device is being connected. Do not overload 
this device. Ensure the total load to this device does not exceed that which is listed in the 
Specifications section of this manual.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Information 

This device complies with Part 68 and Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to 
the following two conditions: (1) This device must not cause harmful interference, and (2) 
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause 
undesired operation. As required, the bottom of this equipment contains, among other 
information, the Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this 
equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
