4. Follow instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug ha s two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replace
ment of the obolete outlet.

electric shock, do not r emove
cover (or back) no use rserviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service
personnel.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any

17. Power Sources
The 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 product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
18. 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. 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. Alternative Warnings -This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having
a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obs olete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
19. 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 Electric al Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requ ir em en ts f or t he g roun di ng elect rode. See f i g. A on page 6 .
20. Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning s torm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods 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 powerline surges.
21. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should 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 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.
22. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
