Information about products that generate
electrical noise

If applicable, this equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu­ant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer­ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener­ates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, this is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit

than the one to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-

cian for help.

Note: Unauthorized modification of the receiver or radio
remote control could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.

This product complies with the Canadian ICES-003 Class
B specifications.

Important Safety Instructions

18. Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the product into
a proper power source, as described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.

19. Avoid Power Lines – Use extreme care when install­ing an outside antenna system to keep from touching
power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be
fatal. Do not install external antennas near overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor
where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power
lines.

20. Ground All Outdoor Antennas – If an external
antenna or cable system is connected to this product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This
will provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc-

Français Español English

ture, 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 ground electrode.
