Power Source Warning
A label on this product indicates the correct
power source for this product. Operate this
product only from an electrical outlet with the
voltage and frequency indicated on the product
label. If you are uncertain of the type of power
supply to your home or business, consult your
service provider or your local power company.
Ground the Product
WARNING:
Avoid electric shock and Þre hazard! Do
not locate an outside antenna system in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or
power circuits. Touching power lines or
circuits might be fatal.
WARNING:
Avoid electric shock and Þre hazard!
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 is provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not Þt into
your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

On/Off Power Light
When the on/off power light is not illuminated,
the apparatus may still be connected to the
power source. The light goes out when the
apparatus is turned off, regardless of whether
it is still plugged into an AC power source.
Outdoor Grounding System
If this product connects to an outdoor antenna
or cable system, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded (earthed). This provides
some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Eliminate AC Mains Overloads

ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides the following
information:
WARNING:
Avoid electric shock and Þre hazard!
Do not overload AC mains, outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles. For products that require
battery power or other power sources
to operate them, refer to the operating
instructions for those products.
