CAUTION – Exposure To Heat

Do not expose your Monster PowerCenter to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters,
or any enclosed space prone to temperature increase (e.g., car trunk).

WARNING – Storm Precautions

In the event of a lightning storm, immediately disconnect your Monster PowerCenter 
from its power source.

After you’ve done this, it’s not necessary to disconnect any components from your Monster PowerCenter.

WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside

If, for any reason, your Monster PowerCenter is not operating properly, do not remove
