Warning

To prevent electric shock or injury, these safety
instructions should be followed in the installation, use
and servicing the unit.

Installation

Attachments – Do not use attachments not

recommended by the unit manufacturer as they may
result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
Water and Moisture – Do not use this unit near water

- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, and the like.
Heat – Do not use this unit near sources of heat,
including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that
generate heat. It also should not be placed in
temperatures less than 5˚C (41˚F) or greater than 35˚C
(95˚F).
Mounting surface – Place the unit on a flat, even
surface.
Accessories – Do not place this unit on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious
damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer.
Portable cart – An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
Ventilation – The unit should be situated with
adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation
is assured. Allow 10 cm clearance from the rear and the
top of the unit, and 5 cm from the each side.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or
bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure
reliable operation of the unit and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or

kind into this unit through the cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the unit.

Electric Power

Power Sources – This unit 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 supply to
your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. To operate unit on battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization – This unit is provided
with a polarized alternating-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 replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
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, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Lightning

For added protection for this unit receiver during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet. This will prevent damage to the unit due to
lightning and powerline surges.
