Remember to exercise good common
sense when using the Home
Automation features of your UR81A
Remote - especially when controlling
unattended devices. There can be some
unexpected consequences if not used
with care. For example, an empty
coffee pot can be remotely turned on.
If that should happen, your coffee pot
could be damaged from overheating. If
an electric heater is turned on by
remote control while clothing is draped
over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE
the remote for the control of high
power heating appliances such as
portable heaters.
Caution: T o reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble any part of
the Home Automation System’s plug-in
Modules or Controllers. No userserviceable parts are inside. If you spill
liquid on a unit, disconnect the unit from
the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or
shock hazard and consult authorized
service personnel.
Powerline operated equipment or
accessories connected to any of these
units should bear the UL listing or CSA
certification mark and should not have
been modified in any way that might
defeat their safety features.
Warning: To prevent electric shock
hazard, do not expose any part of the
Home Automation System to rain or
moisture
