SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Please read and observe the following safety
points at all times.

WARNING—Power Sources

Do not plug this PowerControl™ into a power
outlet that differs from the source indicated
for safe use on the PowerControl. 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.

4

WARNING—Grounding
and Polarization

A. D o not force your PowerControl plug into an

outlet that is not designed to accept a three­wire grounded-type AC plug (a three-prong
plug). This plug is designed to be inserted
into a grounded-type outlet only. If this plug
doesn’t fit directly inside your outlet, do not
attempt to force it into the outlet. Never
attempt to dismantle the plug in any way
(or to alter the power cord). 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.

B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite

dishes, antennas, or any other component
with wire that connects to your PowerControl,
be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded.
This protects against voltage surges and
static charges.

C. 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.

WARNING—Liquid: Avoiding
Electrical Shocks

A. D o not operate your Monster PowerControl

if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside
the unit.

B. Do not operate your Monster PowerControl

near rain or water that’s spilled or contained
(e.g., bathtub, or kitchen sink).

WARNING—Power Cord Safety

A. When routing your PowerControl’s AC

power cord, do not place it near heavy
foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways, doorways,
and floors). Do not create a trip hazard with
the power cord.

B. If your power cord’s protective jacket

begins to rip or fray, exposing the internal
wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect it from
the AC power source and discontinue use
of the Monster PowerControl immediately.
See the Warranty Information section of this
owner’s manual for important details.

WARNING—No User Serviceable
Parts Inside

If, for any reason, your PowerControl is not
operating properly, do not remove any part of
the unit (cover, etc.) for repair. Unplug the unit
and consult the Warranty Information section
of this owner’s manual for important details.

CAUTION—Exposure to Heat

Do not expose your PowerControl to direct
sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space
heaters, or any enclosed space prone to
temperature increase.

CAUTION—Proper Cleaning

In general, the only cleaning necessary for
your Monster PowerControl is a light dusting.
Unplug your component from the wall outlet
before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid
or aerosol cleaners.
