Note to installer
This reminder is provided to call your attention
to Article 820-22 of the National Electrical
Code (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code,
Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building as close to
the point of cable entry as practical.

– Do not attempt to open BeoPort. Leave
such operations to qualified ser vice
personnel.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock do not
use the polarized plug with an extension
cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the
blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure.
