   Retain all documentation for future reference.

2. Follow all instructions printed on the unit chassis for proper operation.

3. To reduce the risk of fire, do not spill water or other liquids into or on the unit, or operate the unit while standing in liquid.

4. Make sure power outlets conform to the power requirements listed on the back of the unit. Keep unit protected from rain, water and excessive moisture.

5. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents or aerosol cleaners, as this may damage the unit. Dust with a clean dry cloth.

6. Do not use the unit if the electrical power cord is frayed or broken. The power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

7. Do not force switched or external connections in any way. They should all connect easily, without needing to be forced.

8. Always operate the unit with the AC ground wire connected to the electrical system ground. Precautions should be taken so that the means of grounding of a piece of equipment is not defeated.

9. AC voltage must be correct and the same as that printed on the rear of the unit. Damage caused by connection to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty.

10. Turn the power off and disconnect the unit from AC current before making connections.

11. Never hold a power switch in the “ON” position.

12. This unit should be installed in a cool dry place, away from sources of excessive heat, vibration, dust, moisture, and cold. Do not use the unit near stoves,  heat registers, radiators, or other heat-producing devices.

13. Do not block fan intake or exhaust ports. Do not operate equipment on a surface or in an environment that may impede the normal flow of air around the unit, such as a bed, rug, carpet, or completely enclosed rack. If the unit is used in an extremely dusty or smoky environment, the unit should be periodically “blown free” of foreign dust and matter.

14. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

15. When moving the unit, disconnect input ports first, then remove the power cable; finally, disconnect the interconnecting cables to other devices.

16. Do not drive the inputs with a signal level greater than that required to drive equipment to full output.

17. The equipment power cord should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

18. Save the carton and packing material even if the equipment has arrived in good condition. Should you ever need to ship the unit, use only the original factory packing?

19. Service Information Equipment should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
    A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
    B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the equipment.
    C. The equipment has been exposed to rain.
    D. The equipment does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
    E. The equipment has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

NOTES
For the best results, it is suggested you use pure copper and not copper-clad aluminum and use solid, riser-rated cable and not stranded cable. Stranded cable has  ~20% higher signal attenuation than solid, so its runs need to be shorter.
Contiguous cable runs are preferred. The use of network punch down into patch panels and keystone jacks adds attenuation and runs need to be shorter.
The use of EZ-45® connectors is not recommended as the cable extends outside the end of the RJ45 connector and can act as an inductor of noise.
