This Monster Surge Protector features ceramic-encased MOVs for superior fire protection. The ceramic enclosure is made of fireproof material similar to that used on the space shuttle to give you peace of mind that your home theater and, more importantly, your home is safe.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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

WARNING – Power Sources

Do not plug this surge protector into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the Surge protector. 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.

WARNING – Grounding and Polarization

A. Do not force your surge protector plug into an outlet that is not designed to

accept a three-wire 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.

ENGLISH

B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other

component with wire that connects to your surge protector, 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. Do not operate your Monster Surge Protector if liquid of any kind is spilled onto

or inside the unit.

B. Do not operate your Monster Surge Protector near rain or water that’s spilled

or contained (e.g., bathtub, or kitchen sink).

WARNING – Power Cord Safety

A. When routing your surge protector’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 surge protector immediately. See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.

ENGLISH

WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside

If, for any reason, your surge protector 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 surge protector 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 Surge Protector is a light dusting. Unplug your component from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
