Important: Protecting Against Power Surges

It is recommended that the purchase and use of a separate surge protection unit from a

third party is considered for the power connection to the X8 hardware. This is to ensure

that the X8 is protected from damage by sudden external electrical power surges

through the power cable.

Surge protection is particularly important in locations where there is a heightened risk of

lightning strikes and/or power grid spikes.

Any surge protection unit should be installed exactly according to the manufacturer's

instructions since correct installation of such units is vital for them to be effective.
