Important Safety Instructions
1. CLEANING - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean
the unit using a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
2. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
3. ANTENNA - Do not connect an external antenna to the unit (other than
that provided).
4. WATER AND MOISTURE - The unit should not be used near water. For
example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming
pool or in a wet basement.
5. PLACEMENT - Do not place the unit on an unstable table, stand, tripod,
or bracket. This may result in serious personal injuries and damage to the
unit.
6. VENTILATION - The unit should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it
should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may
block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of
air through the ventilation openings.
7. PERIODS OF NON-USE - If the unit is to be left unused for an extended
period of time, such as a month or longer, the power cable should be
unplugged from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion.
8. OBJECTS AND LIQUID ENTRY - Care should be taken so that external
objects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled onto any openings or
vents located on the product.
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and
manufactured to ensure your personal safety. However, improper use can
result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and
operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these
instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings
listed in this user’s manual and on the unit.
9. POWER SOURCE - The unit should be connected to a power supply
only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked
on the unit. If you are not sure, please consult the dealer or local power
company.
10. POWER CORD PROTECTION - Power supply cord should be routed so
that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them. It is always better to have a clear area from where the cable
exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC outlet.
11. LIGHTNING - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

service personnel when:
A. the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled onto the enclosure.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate
normally.
15. SERVICING - The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond
those methods described in the user’s manual. Opening or removing
covers will expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Service
methods not covered in the user’s manual should be referred to qualified
service personnel.
16. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repair to the unit,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that
