FCC Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B Digital
Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reason-
able protection against harmful interference in
residential installation.  This equipment gener-
ates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accor-
dance with the instructions, may cause harm-
ful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interfer-
ence will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures: 

(1)

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

(2)

Increase the separation between the equip-

ment and receiver.

(3)

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected. 

(4)

Consult the dealer or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help. Any special
accessories needed for compliance must 
be specified in the instruction.

CAUTION:

A shielded-type power cord is

required in order to meet FCC emission limits
and also to prevent interference to the nearby
radio and television reception.  It is essential
that only the supplied power cord be used.
Use only shielded cables to connect I/O
devices to this equipment.

CAUTION:

Any changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the guarantee of this
device could void the user's authority to 
operate the equipment.

Warning Notice
WARRANTY LIMITATION FOR INTERNET PUR-
CHASERS

Panamax products purchased through the
Internet do not carry a valid Connected
Equipment Protection Policy unless purchased
from an Authorized Panamax Internet Dealer!

ficient expertise to insure warranty compliant
installations. For a list of Authorized Panamax
Internet Dealers go to www.panamax.com

CAUTION

Audio/Video, computer and/or telephone sys-
tem installations can be very complex sys-
tems, which consist of many interconnected
components. Due to the nature of electricity
and surges, a single protector may not be able
to completely protect complex installations.       
In those cases, a systematic approach using

multiple protectors must be employed.
Systematic protection requires professional
design. AC power, satellite cables, CATV
cables, A/V signal line cables or telephone/net-
work lines entering the system that do not
pass through a Panamax surge protector will
render the Panamax connected equipment
protection policy null and void. For additional
information on how to protect your system,
please contact Panamax before connecting
your equipment to the surge protector.

If you have any questions regarding these
requirements, please contact Panamax
