This indicates information that will help you avoid damage to your equipment, loss of materials, or loss of time. PAY ATTENTION TO THESE IMPORTANT STATEMENTS! NOTE: This indicates information related to the current topic. Important Safety Instructions 1. Read these instructions. 2. Keep these instructions. 3. Heed all warnings. 4. Follow all instructions. 5. Do not use this apparatus near water. 6. Clean only with dry cloth. 7. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. 11.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12.Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long peri- ods of time. 13.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. 14.This apparatus has no AC mains power switch. The power cable is the AC mains disconnect device. WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. WARNING! This CLASS I apparatus must be connected to an AC mains socket outlet that has a protective earthing connection (i.e., third- prong ground conductor). DO NOT DEFEAT THE PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONNECTION! Introduction to Home Controller HC-500 The Control4 Home Controller HC-500 provides options for controlling lights, home theaters, distributed audio systems, and other devices controlled using various protocols, such as Infra Red (IR), Serial, Contact, and Relay. It provides extensive media management services for audio sources, such as CDs and DVDs stored in connected devices. It also allows you to use an external storage device with USB support for media storage. It also includes multi-zone audio capabilities, sending music to rooms throughout the home. Once the controller and other system components are installed and configured (using Control4 Composer software or another Control4 setup program), your users can control the system using one of the two user interfaces included with this controller: On-screen Navigator or System Remote Control or any other Control4 user interface device (available separately). Control4 Supported Devices Control4 devices that can be controlled by this controller include: For a more information see “Products” at http://www.control4.com .
