Proper Grounding And Installation Tips - Monster Power Reference PowerCenter HTS2600 Owner's Manual

CAUTION – Proper Grounding
Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded 3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If your AC outlet
is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the Green "Ground OK" light on the front panel
of the Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter HTS 2600 will not light up. In this event, call an 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 $350,000 Limited
Connected Equipment warranty to be valid. If you're not sure about your home's wiring, have it checked
by a qualified electrician.
Proper Power and Protection
IMPORTANT NOTE –
To completely deliver clean power and protect your equipment against electrical surges, every wire
into or out of your equipment must be connected to an appropriate Monster PowerCenter.
Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty
IMPORTANT NOTE –
The $350,000 Limited Connected Equipment warranty becomes invalid if any wire (phone, coax, or AC),
or audio or video interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component that is not properly protected
by the Monster PowerCenter.
