WARNING: Cleaning
The only cleaning necessary for your UltraPower
device is a light, dry dusting.
Do not use any type
of liquid or aerosol cleaners and unplug the device
from the wall before cleaning it.
WARNING: Liquid –
Avoiding Electrical Shocks
Do not operate your UltraPower device if liquid
of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.
Do
not operate your UltraPower device near liquid of
any kind spilled, condensed, or contained. Do not
operate your UltraPower device in the bathroom,
kitchen or anywhere near a sink or bathtub.
WARNING: Power Cord Safety
If the protective jacket of the power cord
begins to wear or fray and any internal wiring
is exposed, immediately disconnect it from the
power source and discontinue use.
Do not route any of the incoming or outgoing
cables from your UltraPower device place in
heavy foot traffic which could cause undue
wear, strain or cause a tripping hazard.
CAUTION: Exposure to Heat
Do not expose your UltraPower device to direct
sunlight or place it near heat sources or in any
enclosed space prone to uncontrolled high
temperature.
WARNING:
No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your UltraPower devicee does
not properly operate, never open the unit or
attempt to service it yourself in any way. There
are no user serviceable parts inside.
Unplug
the unit and refer to the service and warranty
information that came with it.
CAUTION: Proper Grounding
All UltraPower devices require a properly grounded
3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If
your AC outlet is improperly wired (no ground or
reverse polarity), the Green “Ground OK” light on
the UltraPower product will not light up. Should
this occur, it means that your home wiring is faulty
and improperly grounded, which is not uncommon,
especially in older buildings. Call an electrician to
fix the problem in your home’s wiring. Building
wiring and grounding must conform to applicable
NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the Limited
Connected Equipment Warranty to be valid. If you
are not sure about the wiring in your home, have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
CAUTION: Proper Power and Protection
Your UltraPower device provides a protective
‘shield’ for your system. To deliver clean power and
protect your equipment against electrical surges,
every single wire into or out of your equipment
must be connected to an appropriate UltraPower
device. There can be no unprotected pathway in or
out of your system. This includes all power, signal,
control, antenna, data, phone, internet, cable or
other connection to all components within the
system and any equipment of any kind connected
to any component within the system in any way.
WARNING:
This warranty does not apply to, or
protect against damage to connected equipment
that is a result of a direct lightning strike or surge.
To avoid the potential of such damage from a
lightning strike, UltraPower strongly recommends,
when either an electrical storm is imminent,
or in progress, that you immediately unplug all
connected and/or associated equipment.
WARNING: Power Sources
Do not plug this UltraPower device into a power
outlet differing in configuration or voltage from
the source indicated for safe use on the device.
If you don’t know the type of electrical power that
is supplied to your home, please consult your local
power utility company for further information.
WARNING:
Grounding and Polarization
Your UltraPower device has a three-prong
grounding-type AC 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. Never
attempt to disassemble or modify the plug in any
way or to use an altered extension cord to make it
fit into a two-prong outlet. The grounding feature
is a necessary and important safety and design
feature. Do not attempt to circumvent it by using a
3-to-2 prong adapter. If you do not have a properly
grounded three-prong outlet available, call a local
electrician to install one.
If you use any devices on your roof-top —
such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any
other component with wire that connects to
a device, you must insure that all wires are
properly grounded.
Proper grounding techniques
as specified in section 810 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC), AASI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of
the Canadian Electrical Code). Doing so will provide
protection against voltage surges and static
charges. Do not place any antenna component
near overhead power lines, or any other power
source. Do not touch any power line or power
source. Doing so may cause you severe physical
injury and possibly death.
