EQUIPMENT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED. CONSULT WITH A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IF YOU ARE NOT SURE.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS USER'S GUIDE.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO CONNECTING ANY CABLES TO THE SATELLITE MODEM.
Warnings - A WARNING is defined as a procedure or practice that, if not correctly followed, could
result in injury, death, or long term health hazard. Always observe the following WARNINGS:
There are no user-serviceable parts inside any of the equipment in your system. There are poten-
tially lethal voltages inside the equipment. It should only be opened by a technician trained and
certified to service the product.
RF Radiation Hazard. The transmitting equipment is capable of generating RF levels above the
maximum permissible uncontrolled exposure level. Do not enter the radiation beam pattern of the
transmitter feed horn and / or antenna when the transmitter is on.
When the Satellite Modem is powered on, DC voltage is present on the rear panel TX and RX con-
nectors.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. The apparatus
must not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should
be placed on the apparatus.
Postpone satellite modem installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in
the area.
To prevent electrical shock, if the unit is provided with a polarized plug, do not connect the
plug into an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the plug can be fully inserted with no
part of the blades exposed.
The In-Line Power Supply input power cord must be connected to a properly grounded three-prong
AC outlet. Do not use adapter plugs, or remove the grounding prong from the plug.
Cautions - A CAUTION is defined as a procedure or practice that, if not correctly followed, could result
in equipment damage or destruction. Always observe the following CAUTIONS:
Only use the in-line power supply provided with the SM. Using a different power supply may cause equip-
ment damage.
To ensure regulatory and safety compliance, use only the provided power and interface cables.
Do not open the unit. Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the installation and
troubleshooting instructions. Refer all servicing to qualified service professional.
Avoid damaging the satellite modem with static by first touching the coaxial cable connector when it is
attached to the earth grounded coaxial cable wall outlet. Always first touch the coaxial cable connector on
the satellite modem when you are disconnecting or re-connecting your Ethernet cable from the satellite
modem or your PC.
To prevent overheating, do not block the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit.
Only wipe the unit with a clean, dry cloth. To avoid equipment damage, never use cleaning fluids or simi-
lar chemicals. Do not spray cleaners directly on the unit or use forced air to remove dust.
The user should install an AC surge arrestor in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This is to
avoid damaging the equipment by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
