Important Safety Considerations
•The main plug is the main disconnect device. It shall remain readily accessible and operable.
•The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
During Transportation to the Subscriber Home
•Transport the cable terminal in its shipping box or an equally padded container.
•Do not expose the terminal to rain or moisture.
During Installation
•Do not place the terminal in an enclosed area where the cooling vents are blocked or impede the flow of
air through the ventilation openings.
•Install the terminal so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, do not
place the terminal on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the ventilation openings.
•Install the terminal away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers and stoves. Installation of
the terminal near consumer electronics devices, such as stereo receiver/amplifiers and televisions, is
permitted as long as the air surrounding the terminal does not exceed 40º C (104º F).
•Place the terminal on a flat surface not prone to vibration or impact.
•Do not install the terminal in an area where condensation occurs.
•To prevent the temporary loss of guide data and cause a temporarily non-responding terminal, do not
plug the AC power cord into a switched power outlet.
