A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
9.
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
Ventilation: Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
10.
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings should never
be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer instructions have been adhered to.
Power Sources: This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on
11.
the rating label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power or other

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the
15.
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Ar ticle 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/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, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode (see gure).
Lightning: For added protection for this product, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
16.
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 or power-line
surges.
Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
17.
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, 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.

18.
tacles as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings
19.
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or shout-out parts that could result in a re or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

20.
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualied service
personnel.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualied technician to restore the product to its normal operation;
e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way; f) when the product exhibits a
distinct change in performance —this indicates a need for service.
Replacement Parts: When replacement parts are required, be sure that your service techni-
22.
cian has used replacement par ts specied by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric shock, or
other hazards.
Safety Check: Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service tech-
23.
nician to per form safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting: The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom-
24.

remote control and the sensor, or if it is exposed to direct sunlight or a strong articial light
(e.g., uorescent or strobe lights). In this case, change the direction of the light or reposi-
tion the unit to avoid direct lighting.
