S AFETY C ONSIDERATIONS
Remember to exercise good common
sense when using the Home
Automation features of your X10
Platinum Remote – especially when
scheduling unattended devices. There
can be some unexpected consequences
if not used with care. For example, an
empty coffee pot can be remotely
turned on. If that should happen, your
coffee pot could be damaged from
overheating. If an electric heater is
turned on by remote control while
clothing is draped over it, a fire could
result. DO NOT USE the remote for the
control of high power heating
appliances such as portable heaters.
Caution: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not disassemble any part of the
Home Automation System’s plug-in
Modules or Controllers. No user-
serviceable parts are inside. If you spill
liquid on a unit, disconnect the unit from
the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or
shock hazard and consult authorized
service personnel.
Powerline operated equipment or
accessories connected to any of these
units should bear the UL, or ULc listing
mark, or CSA certification mark and
should not have been modified in any
way that might defeat their safety
features.
Warning: To prevent electric shock
hazard, do not expose any part of the
Home Automation System to rain or
moisture
