WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this Component into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the Component. If you don’t know
the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounded-type outlet only. Do not force the Component plug into an outlet that is not
designed to accept a three-wire grounded-type AC plus (three prong plug) Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way (or to alter
the power cord), and do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. If you have questions about
grounding, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.
This Wattbox™ component requires a properly grounded outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment. If you’re not sure if your
home’s electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
If any rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire being used that connects to the
Component, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. This protects against voltage surges and static charges.
Do not place any antenna near overhead power lines or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit. Doing so
may cause severe physical injury or possibly death.
