Safety Tips
Safe Use of Your Appliance
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the
Appliance:
➜Never open the Home Internet Appliance enclosure. There
are no user-serviceable components or options inside.
➜Do not disable the 3-prong power cord. The grounding pin
on the 3-prong plug is an important safety feature.
Removing the grounding pin increases the risk of
equipment damage. If you cannot fit the plug into your
electrical outlet, contact an electrician to install a
grounded outlet. See Caring for Your Home Internet
Appliance for additional information on safely using your
Appliance.
➜Plug the power cord into an unswitched grounded
(earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all
times.
➜When connecting a power cord to a grounded electrical
outlet, ensure that nothing rests on the power cord.
➜Disconnect power from the Appliance by unplugging the
power cord from either the electrical outlet or the
Appliance.
When using this device, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury to persons, including the following:
➜Do not use the Appliance near water; for example, near a
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool.
➜Avoid using the Appliance during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from
lightening.
➜Do not use the Appliance to report a gas leak if the
Appliance is in the vicinity of the leak.

Caring for Your Home Internet Appliance
Appliance Care and Additional Safety
Precautions
Make sure you:
➜Take special precautions when using your Home Internet
Appliance in the kitchen—do not allow any liquids to fall
on any part of the Appliance!
➜To clean the display and the keyboard use a soft, dry cloth
and an antistatic dusting spray designed for VCRs, and
television and computer screens. Never attempt to clean
your Home Internet Appliance with chlorine or ammonia-
based cleaners or sprays. Do not clean your Home Internet
Appliance with household detergents.
➜Operate your Home Internet Appliance on a stable
surface.
➜Leave at least three inches of space on the sides and back
of your Home Internet Appliance to allow for proper
ventilation.
➜Place your keyboard so that your arms and hands are in a
comfortable, relaxed position. The keyboard should be
directly in front of you. Keep your lower arms parallel to
the floor while using the keyboard. Be sure the keyboard
has a direct line of sight to the display so the wireless
connection is maintained.
➜Position the Appliance away from heat sources, direct
sunlight, and excessive dust. Be sure the Appliance is in a
location where it cannot be knocked over or pulled to the
floor by dangling cords.
Caring for Your
Home Internet
Appliance
Because your Home
Internet Appliance can be
used in practically any
room in the house, keep in
mind some important
considerations when using
and caring for your
Appliance.
During an electrical storm,
unplug your Home Internet
Appliance. Disconnect the
modem line from the telephone
wall jack, and remove all
power cords from electrical
outlets.
