IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this PowerCenter™into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the PowerCenter.
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 PowerCenter 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.
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire that connects to
your PowerCenter, 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 PowerCenter if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter near rain or water that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub, kitchen or sink).

ii
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your PowerCenter’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 Monster PowerCenter immediately. See the Warranty
Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your PowerCenter 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 PowerCenter to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or any enclosed space
prone to temperature increase.
