Do not connect the plug into an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the plug can be fully inserted with
no part of the blades exposed.

earth-grounded coaxial cable-TV wall outlet.
Always first touch the coaxial cable connector on the cable modem when disconnecting or reconnecting the Ethernet

It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge protector in the AC outlet to which this device is connected.
