18 HP Digital Entertainment Center
AC Power Safety Warnings (continued)
Never pull on the cord. Disconnect the HP Digital
Entertainment Center by grasping the plug firmly and
pulling it from the power outlet. Never disconnect the
HP Digital Entertainment Center by pulling the cord.
Install your HP Digital Entertainment Center near an outlet
that you can easily reach. Do not allow anything to rest
on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.
Use surge protection. To protect your HP Digital
Entertainment Center and other equipment, connect all
power cords for your system and its peripheral devices
(such as a printer or scanner) to a surge protection device
such as a power strip with surge protection or
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
Not all power strips provide surge protection; the power
strips must be specifically labeled as having this ability.
Use a power strip whose manufacturer offers a damage
replacement policy so you can replace your equipment if
surge protection fails.
Use the right power source. Use only a power
source and connection appropriate for this HP Digital
Entertainment Center, as indicated on the label/back
plate of the HP Digital Entertainment Center.
Be sure the total ampere rating of the products connected
to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the
electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the
products connected to the cord does not exceed the
rating of the cord. Look on the power label to determine
the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.
Outdoor antenna grounding — If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and static
buildup charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. Refer to the
Warranty and Support Guide for additional safety
information.
Lightning — For added protection of any HP product
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug the product from
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power line surges.
Power lines — An outside antenna should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits.
