This product should not be placed in a

built-in installation such as a bookcase or

rack unless proper ventilation is provided

or the manufacturer’s instructions have

been adhered to.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and oper-

ating instructions should be retained for

future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the

product and in the operating instructions

should be adhered to.

11. Power Sources - This product should be

operated only from the type of power

source indicated on the marking label. If

you are not sure of the type of power sup-

ply to your home, consult your product

dealer or local power company. For prod-

ucts intended to operate from battery

power, or other sources, refer to the op-

5. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the

wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use

liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a

damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments

not recommended by the product manu-

facturer as they may cause hazards.

12. Grounding or Polarization - This product

may be equipped with a polarized alter-

nating-current line plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other). This plug

will fit into the power outlet only one way.

This is a safety feature. If you are unable

to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still

fail to fit, contact your electrician to re-

place your obsolete outlet. Do not de-

feat the safety purpose of the polarized

plug.

7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this

product near water - for example, near a

bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laun-

dry tub; in a wet basement; or near a

swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this product

on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,

or table. The product may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or adult, and seri-

ous damage to the product. Use only with

a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-

ommended by the manufacturer, or sold

with the product. Any mounting of the

product should follow the manufacturer’s

instructions, and should use a mounting

accessory recommended by the manufac-

turer.

13. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply

cords should be routed so that they are

not likely to be walked on or pinched by

items placed upon or against them, pay-

ing particular attention to cords at plugs,

convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the product.

14. Protective Attachment Plug - The prod-

uct is equipped with an attachment plug

having overload protection. This is a

safety feature. See Instruction Manual for

replacement or resetting of protective de-

vice. If replacement of the plug is re-

quired, be sure the service technician has

used a replacement plug specified by the

manufacturer that has the same overload

protection as the original plug.

9. A product and cart combi-

nation should be moved

with care. Quick stops, ex-

cessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the

product and cart combina-

tion to overturn.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an out-

side antenna or cable system is connected

to the product, be sure the antenna or

cable system is grounded so as to pro-

vide some protection against voltage

surges and built-up static charges. Article

810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70, provides information with re-

10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the

cabinet are provided for ventilation and

uct and to protect it from overheating,

and these openings must not be blocked

Safety

iii

gard to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the

lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,

size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode. See figure

below:

20. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this

product yourself as opening or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous volt-

age or other hazards. Refer all servicing

to qualified service personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer ser-

vicing to qualified service personnel un-

der the following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged,

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have

fallen into the product,

c) If the product has been exposed to rain

or water,

d) If the product does not operate normally

by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are cov-

ered by the operating instructions as an

improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will often re-

quire extensive work by a qualified tech-

nician to restore the product to its nor-

mal operation,

16. Lightning - For added protection for this

product during a lightning storm, or when

it is left unattended and unused for long

periods of time, unplug it from the wall

outlet and disconnect the antenna or

cable system. This will prevent damage

to the product due to lightning and power

lines surges.

e) If the product has been dropped or dam-

aged in any way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct

change in performance - this indicates a

need for service.

22. Replacement Parts - When replacement

parts are required, be sure the service

technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer or have the

same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in

fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

17. Power Lines - An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of

overhead power lines or other electric

light or power circuits, or where it can fall

into such power lines or circuits. When

installing an outside antenna system, ex-

treme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as

contact with them might be fatal.

23. Safety Check - Upon completion of any

service or repairs to this product, ask the

service technician to perform safety

checks to determine that the product is

in proper operating condition.

18. Overloading - Do not overload wall out-

lets, extension cords, or integral conve-

nience receptacles as this can result in a

risk of fire or electric shock.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product

should be mounted to a wall or ceiling

only as recommended by the manufac-

turer.

19. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push ob-

jects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short-out parts that

could result in a fire or electric shock.

Never spill liquid of any kind on the prod-

uct.

25. Heat - The product should be situated

away from heat sources such as radiators,

heat registers, stoves, or other products

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
