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.

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 structure, 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.
Refer to the antenna grounding illustration on this
page.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC (of USA)
that provides guidelines for proper grounding. In particular,
it specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the

buttons.
1. Tune to the station you want to save as a preset.
2. Press and hold one of the six

buttons until you hear a double beep and the
preset number and station frequency appear on the display.

station.
Note:
Storing a preset will replace any station previously stored to that preset number.
Note:
During a power outage, stored presets are saved in a backup memory.
Talk radio broadcasts can be greatly affected by either the microphone selection or the boosting of low frequencies by some radio stations. They do so in an attempt to improve speech
when heard through conventional radios. In high-quality audio products, this results in sound
that is unnatural or bass heavy. By selecting the TALK RADIO mode, your Wave
