IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
for PowerMount Wall Unit
Please read and observe the following safety points
at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
DO NOT plug the mounting system power unit
into a power outlet that diff ers from the source
indicated for safe use on the unit. If you don’t
know the type of electrical power that is supplied
to your home, consult your local power company
or a qualifi ed electrician.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
A. DO NOT force the power unit’s plug into an outlet
that is not designed to accept grounded AC
plugs. This plug is designed to be inserted into a
grounded-type outlet only. If the plug doesn’t fi t
directly into 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). If you
have questions about grounding, consult your
local power company or a qualifi ed electrician.
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes,
antennae or any other component with wire that
connects to your power unit, be sure the wire(s)
is properly grounded. This protects against
voltage surges and static charges.

8
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 the power unit if liquid
of any kind is spilled on it or inside it.
B. DO NOT operate the power unit near rain
or water that’s spilled or contained
(e.g., bathtub, kitchen or sink).
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing the power unit’s AC power cord,
do not place it near heavy foot traffi c (e.g.,
hallways, doorways and fl oors). Do not create a
trip hazard with the power cord.
B. If the protective jacket on the power unit begins
to rip or fray, exposing the internal wiring,
shielding, etc., disconnect it from the power
source and discontinue use immediately.
See the Warranty Information section of this
owner’s manual for important details.
WARNING – Storm Precautions
In the event of a lightning storm, it’s always a good
idea to disconnect the power unit; there is no need
to disconnect your separate components.

9
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, the power unit 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 power unit to direct sunlight
or place it near wall heaters, space heaters or any
enclosed space prone to temperature increases.
CAUTION – Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for the power
unit is a light dusting. Unplug the unit from the wall
before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid
or aerosol cleaner.

10
PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION
for PowerMount Wall Unit
WARNING – Proper Grounding
The power unit requires a properly grounded outlet
for safety and to protect connected equipment.
If you’re not sure if your home’s electrical wiring
is properly grounded, have it checked by
a qualifi ed electrician.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Power and Protection
To completely protect your equipment against
electrical surges, every AC power cable, coaxial
cable, phone line, and Ethernet line in the system
must be connected to the power unit or another
surge protection unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Protection and
the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty
The fi ve year, $50,000 Limited Connected
Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire
(AC or coax) leading into the equipment comes
from a component that is not properly protected
by the mounting system power unit. See the
Warranty Information section of this owner’s
manual for important details.

DO NOT install near an air conditioner.
DO NOT install in a location where there

These sources can create a fi re.
DO NOT apply unnecessary stress or load
on the installed unit. Never hang on the unit.
DO NOT install the unit alone. Safe installation
requires at least two people.
DO NOT route your fl atscreen TV’s power cord
in wall. Check local building/electrical codes
for more information.

12
Cautions
To prevent eye fatigue, DO NOT install where there
is direct sunlight or excessive light.

Installing the Mounting System
Remove all pieces of the mounting system to ensure you
have all the necessary parts. Be sure to choose a mounting
location with convenient access to an AC power outlet.
Wood Stud Mounting:



With the help of a friend, vertically position
the mounting system on the wall stud. Using the
provided level, confi rm that the mounting system’s
wall plate is vertically straight. For best results, position
the level horizontally with the narrow end fl ush against
the side of the wall plate.
Mark the stud center in the wall plate’s top
and bottom mounting holes with a pencil.
With your electrical drill and 3/16 in./5 mm bit,
pre-drill a 3 in./76.2 mm deep hole at each mark.
Align the mounting holes with the holes in the wall.
While holding the wall plate fi rmly in place, insert one
of the supplied lag bolts and washers into the wall
plate’s top mounting hole, as shown to the right.
Next, place the power unit mounting plate over
the bottom mounting hole. Secure it with the other
supplied lag bolt and washer.
Tighten each bolt with your electric drill or socket wrench.
