Safety Precautions
Warning – Earthing
This product must be plugged directly into an earthed AC power socket. 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 cable. Failure to plug this product directly into an earthed socket
may result in personal injury or damage to your equipment, and void your
Belkin Connected Equipment Warranty. Call a licensed electrician if you are
unsure if your AC sockets are properly earthed.
Warning – Rooftop Antennas and Satellite Dishes
If you use rooftop antennas, satellite dishes, or any other rooftop
hardware that connects to your Belkin Power Console, make sure that all
the wires leading from these components are properly earthed. This will
protect against voltage surges from lightning strikes or static charges.
Warning – Lightning Storm Protection
Although your Belkin Power Console is built to withstand large power
surges, we cannot guarantee that it will protect all of your equipment in
the event of a large lightning storm. In the event of a lightning storm, it
is best to unplug your Power Console from the wall. Once you have done
this, there is no need to unplug any of the equipment that is connected
to the Power Console.
Warning – Water and other Liquids: Shock Hazard
Do not use this product with aquariums or other water-related products.
Use indoors and in dry locations only. Do not operate the Power Console
if any liquid is spilled on or in the unit. Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in serious bodily injury or death.
Warning – Cleaning
Always unplug the Power Console from the AC wall socket before
cleaning! It is only necessary to clean the Power Console with a clean,
dry cloth or duster. Do not use any cleaning solutions, sprays, or
immerse in water. On occasion, it may be necessary to clean the front
fascia in order to remove fingerprints. Simply dampen a soft cloth with
warm, soapy water and rub gently. Dry the front fascia immediately and
thoroughly before applying power to the Power Console.
Note: Do not use an excessive amount of water to clean the front fascia.
Warning – No User-Serviceable Parts Inside
If for any reason your Power Console is malfunctioning, do not attempt
to repair or dismantle the unit in any way. Unplug the unit and consult
this User Manual for warranty and service contact information.
