bathtub, kitchen sink, washing machine, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or
similar environment.

8. Mounting considerations – Do not mount this product on an unstable surface.
The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and may result in dama­ge to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended
by the manufactures, or sold with the product. Mounting of this product should be in
accordance the manufacture’s instructions, and should use the mounting hardware pro­vided with the unit by the manufacturer.

9. Carts – A product and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product
and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and
protect the product from over heating. These openings must not be blocked or cover­ed. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided.

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 supply

in your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped 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.

47

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try rotating the plug 180 degrees. If
the plug still cannot be inserted, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug, doing so will void product warranty.

13. Power-Cord Protection – Route the power supply cord in a manner that pro­tects it from being stepped on or pinched by items placed on it. Pay particular attenti­on to the power cord’s plug, and the point where the power cord exits from the pro­duct.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is
being connected to the product, verify that it is properly grounded to insure some type
of protection against voltage surges and static build-up. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regards to proper groun­ding of the mast, supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna- discharges unit, and
connection to grounding electrode

15. Lightning – For added protection against lightning storms, or when the unit is
not going to be used for long periods of time, it is recommended that it be unpluged
from the wall outlet and disconnected from the antenna or cable system. This will pre­vent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuit, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them
might be fatal.

17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral con­venience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry – Never insert objects of any kind into this product
through the openings in the chassis as this may result in a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the product.

19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or remo­ving covers will expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
B. If liquid has been spilled, into the product.
C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

D. If the product does not operate normally as defined by the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an impro­per adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the product to it’s normal operation.
E. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
F. When the product exhibits a significant change in performance this indicates a need
or service.

21. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the ser­vice technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.

22. 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.

23. Mounting – The product should be mounted only as specified in this manual.

24. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,

heating vents, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

COUNTERTOP/DESKTOP INSTALLATION

Please take care that the AC Power cable is not connected at the AC outlet!

NOTE: Use caution to avoid damaging the LCD screen and the main unit when con­verting this unit from an under-counter unit to a countertop unit. Leave the protective pla­stic on the screen until this procedure is completed.

1) Place the unit (with the screen facing up) on a soft padded surface.

2) Pivot the screen so that it is perpendicular to the front of the unit and then turn it
sideways.

3) Remove the hinge guide covers (#1) using a flat blade screwdriver inserted into the
removal slots. Unscrew the mounting screws (#2). Remove the connector from the
unit (#3), be careful not to damage the screen (#5) or wires.

4) Turn the unit over and remove the blank cover (#4)

5) Connect the plug of the LCD monitor into the connector (#3). NOTE: Align the “L”
and “R” stamped on the screen-mounting bracket with the “L” and “R” molded into
the connector housing.

6) Replace the screws and slide the hinge guide covers onto the unit, be careful to not
damage the wires. NOTE: Do not over-tighten.

7) Insert the rubber pieces (#6) (Foot, Mounting Cap - please refer to the illustration
above) into the unit. Install the blank cover on the unused port.

UNDER CABINET INSTALLATION

1) Choose an appropriate mounting location underneath a cabinet or shelf. Close pro-

ximity to an electrical outlet, TV antenna or cable connection will facilitate a neat, easy
installation. Do not mount the VE720E/VE920E above a range or oven. Be sure that
the location chosen will provide adequate access to the electrical connections on the
rear of the unit before continuing.

2) If the location chosen has a bottom edge molding it may be necessary to use the

mounting spacers provided to effectively lower the VE720E/VE920E below or even
with the molding. Measure the distance between the edge molding and the bottom of
the cabinet. The spacers and mounting holes are stepped to achieve different moun­ting heights from 5” to 1”. Adjusting the mounting height is done by lifting and rota­ting the spacer in the mounting hole. Choose a spacer height, which will allow the
VE720E/VE920E to clear the edge molding.

3) Measure the thickness of the bottom of the cabinet or shelf and the spacer height cho-

sen. Select the shortest screw length, which will secure the VE720E/VE920E to the bot­tom of the cabinet.

4) Cut out the template supplied and tape it in place onto the cabinet surface to be dril-

led. Center punch the four holes indicated on the template and remove the template.

5) Carefully drill four 1/8” holes at the locations marked above.

6) Connect your TV antenna or cable system to the antenna connector on the rear of

the VE720E/VE920E.

7) Attach the FM Dipole Antenna and position the antenna for the best reception.

8) Attach the AM Antenna and position the antenna for the best reception.

9) Position the VE720E/VE920E and mount it in place using the selected screws.

NOTE: Do not over-tighten.

10) Plug the AC power cable into the wall outlet. Route the wires safely away from heat

and moisture sources.
