Important Safety Information
1. Read Instructions. All the safety information
and operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions. The safety information
and operating instructions should be kept for
future reference.
3. Observe Warnings. All warnings, either on the
product or in the operating guide should be
followed.
4. Follow Instructions. Operate the product in
accordance with the written instructions.
5. Cleaning. Unplug this product from a wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or spray
cleaners. Use a cloth moistened with water for
cleaning.
6. Attachments. Use only attachments specifically
designed for this product. Other attachments
may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture. Do not use this product
near water – for example, near a bathtub, wash
basin or sink, or washing machine; in an area
subject to water leakage, like a basement; near a
swimming pool or other similar areas.
8. Accessories. Do not place this product on an
unstable surface of any kind. The product may
fall causing serious injury to a child or adult. Falls
may also damage the product. Any mounting of
the product should be secure and not subject to
failure when struck or vibrated. Always transport
the product alone. Do not transport the product
within or on top of a rolling carrier.
9. Ventilation. Slots in the front of the product
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure
reliable operation. These openings should never
be blocked or covered such as by placing the
product on a bed, upholstered furniture, rug or
other similar surface. Do not place the product
inside a cabinet or other closed chamber unless
the chamber has adequate ventilation.
10. 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 to your home,
consult your local power company.
11. Grounding or Polarization. This product is
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. 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.
12. Power-Cord Protection. Power-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 the security
of a power-cord near where it meets a plug,
convenience receptacles, and the point where
the power-cord exits the product.
13. Periods Of Inactivity. The power-cord of the
product should be unplugged from an outlet
when left unused for a long period of time.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding. If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, connections to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
15. Lightning. For added protection of this product
during a lightning storm, or when it is to be left
unattended and unused for a long period of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect 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
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines
and 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 outlets,
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry. Never push objects
of any kind into this product through openings, as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could 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
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all 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:
• The power-cord or the plug has been
damaged;
or
• Objects have fallen onto, or liquid has been
spilled into, the product;
or
• The product has been exposed to rain or
water;
or
• The product does not operate normally when
following the operating instructions. Do not
attempt to open the product to adjust any
internal parts;
or
• The product has been dropped or damaged
in any way;
or
• The product presents a noticeable and
obvious change in performance – this
indicates a need for service.
21. Replacement Parts. Do not allow anyone,
including qualified service technicians, to use
replacement parts other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or
other hazards.
22. Safety Check. Upon completion of any service
or repair to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine
whether the product is in proper operating
condition.
23. Heat. The product should be positioned away
