PureAV Isolator
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Belkin PureAV Home Theater Surge Protector
(the Isolator) for your power protection and home theater entertainment
needs. You now own the best-value surge protector from the market leader
in surge protection.
The PureAV Isolator provides the highest-quality protection from
damaging AC surges and catastrophic lightning strikes. The PureAV
Isolator reduces power-line noise contamination, known as
electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), generated
from both outside and inside the home. This lets you experience a clearer
picture and cleaner sound.
The exceptional Isolator Technology design prevents noise generated by
one electronic device from transferring to other devices that are also
plugged into the PureAV Isolator. The core technology consists of
high-energy Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs), Differential Isolation Coils, and
special Capacitors that are dedicated to each successive pair of receptacle
banks. Each power filter or “graduating filtration” level isolates and
contains power line noise within each individual pair of receptacle banks.
When home appliances that produce excessive line noise—such as a printer,
scanner, or vacuum cleaner—are used with the PureAV Isolator, every filter
works together to ensure that audio static, and/or video interference is
reduced or prevented entirely.

Using the PureAV Isolator
1) Before switching the PureAV Isolator to the “ON” position, please
ensure that it is plugged into a grounded 120V AC/60Hz (standard) wall outlet.
2) Make sure the diagnostic lights are on, indicating that incoming AC wall
power is safe (the yellow “Protection” and green “LINE OK” indicators
should be lit whenever the unit is on).
3) Next, plug in desired devices. The Master Switch can also be used as a
master on/off controller for all the connected devices.
Installation of the PureAV Isolator
PureAV Isolator
1) Turn OFF all of your electronic equipment and ensure that the PureAV
Isolator is also switched OFF.
2) Plug your electronic devices into the Isolator’s AC outlets.
Note: DO NOT USE two-wire extension cords or adapters with this
product. Using any extension cord in conjunction with the Belkin
PureAV Isolator will void all Belkin Corporation warranties. All
connected equipment should be plugged directly into your Belkin
PureAV Isolator.
3) Satellite Components: Connect the coaxial cable line from the satellite
source to the Isolator’s satellite connector marked “IN”. Use a second
coaxial cable to connect the Isolator’s cable connector marked “OUT” to
the appropriate input on your satellite device.
4) Coaxial/Antenna: Connect the coaxial cable line from the cable/antenna
source to the Isolator’s cable/antenna connector marked “IN”. Use a
second coaxial cable to connect the Isolator’s cable/antenna marked
“OUT” to the appropriate input on your cable or antenna device.
5) Phone/Fax/Modem Data Connections: Connect a modular phone cord
from the wall jack to the Isolator’s phone jack marked “IN”. Use a
second modular phone cord to connect to the phone line jack marked
“IN” on the phone to the Isolator’s phone jack marked “OUT”.
[Each PureAV Isolator model comes with solid-state, phone/fax/modem,
Internet-ready (RJ11 jack) surge protection with a built-in phone line splitter.]
If desired, use a third modular phone cord and connect your computer
modem data line jack marked “IN” with the Isolator’s other phone jack
marked “OUT”. Or you can connect a second data line device of your
choice (fax, etc.).
Note: If you fail to connect the phone/fax/modem protection, the
Connected Equipment Warranty will not cover your connected
equipment with telecom ports. Most modem damage can be prevented
if you take the time to connect the phone/fax/modem protection.
6) Your PureAv Isolator should be plugged into a grounded wall outlet
(3-conductor, 120V AC/60Hz) only.
