amp grounded electrical outlet. Do not defeat the ground or change

polarization of the power plug.

5. Route the power cord and other cables so that they are not likely

to be walked on, tripped over, or stressed. Pay particular attention

to the condition of the cords and cables at the plugs, and the point

where they exit your PST-2+6. To prevent risk of fi re or injury,

damaged cords and cables should be replaced immediately.

6. Clean your PST-2+6 with a damp cloth only. Do not use solvents

or abrasive cleaners. Never pour liquid on or into the unit.

Operation

AC, Telephone, and Coaxial Connectors

Telco – Satellite / Cable Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors:

The PST-2+6 features transient voltage surge suppression for both

standard telephone lines, as well as cable and satellite lines utilizing

standard coaxial connectors. As these surge suppressors are in-line,

they will require an additional cable (supplied with the PST-2+6) to

connect from their output to the control device requiring protection.

All in-line surge suppressors feature our exclusive ground

contamination free technology. This aids in eliminating audio

buzzing, and the video hum-bars that can result from typical in-line
