Voltee el libro para instrucciones en español

1. Plug the power conditioner into a grounded outlet near your flat panel. Make sure you're plugging the power conditioner directly into a wall

socket—don't use an extension cord or adapter.

2. Plug the power cord from your flat panel directly into the side of the power conditioner most convenient for it. Then, plug the power cord from another component into the other side of the power conditioner.

Note: Push the plug straight into the conditioner's outlet to release the patented child-safety lock.

CAUTION!

DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet. DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or

adapters. This power conditioner is designed for indoor use only. Install the power conditioner away from heat emitting appliances such as radiators or heat registers. DO NOT install where excessive moisture is present. DO NOT plug extension cords into the power conditioner. Never install electrical or telephone wiring during a lightning storm. DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR OTHER LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT OR OTHER HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES. DO NOT USE IN DAMP AREAS OR NEAR WATER-RELATED APPLICATIONS SUCH AS AQUARIUMS, HOT TUBS, ETC.

PROTECTED (red LED) shows that the power conditioner is on guard against voltage spikes—your connected equipment is safe from these surges. This light should be on when the power conditioner is plugged in.

GROUNDED (green LED) shows that the wall outlet the unit is plugged into is properly grounded. If the GROUNDED light does not come on when you plug in the power conditioner, you may have a ground wiring problem—contact an electrician to properly ground the outlet. Connecting your power conditioner to an improperly grounded outlet will void the product warranty and connected equipment guarantee.
