WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
This product must be plugged directly into a grounded AC power outlet
(3-prong). Do not use a 3-to-2-prong adapter to defeat the grounding pin.
Do not plug or "daisy chain" this product into other electrical products
such as surge protectors, power strips, or UPSes. Do not plug this product
into an extension cord. Failure to plug this product directly into a grounded
outlet may result in personal injury or damage to your equipment. If this
product is mounted in an equipment rack, the rack frame must be properly
grounded. Call a licensed electrician if you are unsure if your AC outlets
are properly grounded.
WARNING – Rooftop Antennas and Satellite Dishes
If you use rooftop antennas, satellite dishes, or any other rooftop hardware
that connects to your AVU1500, make sure that all the wires leading from
these components are properly grounded. This will protect against voltage
surges from lightning strikes or static charges.
