Do not cover this device with a cloth. Do not install it on a carpet or rug.
Caution – Potential injury
Do not use this product with extension cords, multioutlet power strips, multioutlet extenders, or UPS devices (other than a
Big Dog Power UPS). The power capacity of these accessories can be overloaded by this product and may result in a risk of
fire, or property damage.
Warning – Power sources, grounding, polarization
This 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 qualified electrician.
This PDU 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 qualified electrician.
If a rooftop device such as a satellite dish connects to the PDU, ensure that the device’s wires are also properly grounded.
Warning – Liquid: avoiding electrical shocks
Do not operate the PDU 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 (for example, bathtub or sink).
Warning – Power cord safety
Do not place the power cord near areas with heavy foot traffic (for example, 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 the power
source and replace the power cord immediately. See the warranty section of the owner’s manual for details.
Warning – No user-serviceable parts inside
If the PDU is not operating properly, do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.) for repair. Unplug the unit and consult
the warranty section of the owner’s manual.
Caution – Exposure to heat
Do not expose the PDU to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or in an enclosed space prone to
temperature increase.
Do not use the device in a confined, poorly-ventilated location; this can overheat the unit, possibly even causing a fire. If used
in a small space other than an EIA-standard rack, ensure that there is adequate space around the device.
