WARNING – Power Sources, Grounding, Polarization
is plug is designed to be inserted into a NEMA 5-15 (three-prong grounded) outlet only. Do not force the plug into
an outlet that is not designed to accept it. Never dismantle the plug or to alter the power cord, and 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 qualied electrician.
is WattBox requires a properly grounded outlet for safety. If you’re not sure if your home’s electrical wiring is
properly grounded, have it checked by a qualied electrician.
If a rooop devices such as a satellite dish connects to the WattBox, ensure that the device’s wires are also properly
grounded.
e Bonding Point can be used to provide a common ground to other equipment. is bonding point can
accommodate minimum 12 AWG wire and should be connected using the required hardware specied by the other
bonding point. Please use termination for your equipment in accordance with applicable local agency requirements.
WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks
Do not operate the WattBox if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit. Do not operate it near rain or water,
even water that is contained (e.g., bathtub or sink).
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
Do not place the power cord near areas with heavy foot trac (e.g., hallways). Do not create a trip hazard with
the power cord.
If the power cord’s protective jacket rips or frays, exposing the internal wiring or shielding, disconnect it from

switches in the room, especially those near the wall outlet. Also
check the location’s circuit breakers.
Too many devices are connected, causing
an overload, tripping the WattBox’s internal
circuit breaker.
Press the circuit breaker reset button. Allow 10 minutes before
attempting to reset; otherwise, the reset will fail.
If the circuit breaker continues to trip, move one or more
