PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS

CAUTION – Proper Grounding
Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded 3-wire outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment.
If your AC outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the green "GROUND OK" and/or "WIRING OK"
LED indicators on the front panel of the Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter ™ HTS 5000
event, call a qualified electrician to fix the problem in your home's wiring.
Many older buildings are inadequately wired. It's very common for a building to be improperly grounded. Building
wiring and grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the $100,000 Limited
Connected Equipment Warranty to be valid. If you're not sure about your home's wiring, have it checked by a
qualified electrician.
Note to CATV Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
specific guidelines for proper grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
point of cable entry as practical.
Proper Power and Protection
IMPORTANT NOTE –
To completely deliver clean power and protect your equipment against electrical surges, every phone, coaxial cable,
or AC power cable in your system must be connected to an appropriate Monster PowerCenter.
Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty
IMPORTANT NOTE –
The $100,000 Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire (phone, coax, or AC), or audio
