All operating and use instructions should be
followed.

5. CLEANING

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.

6. ATTACHMENTS

Do not use attachments not recommended by
the product's manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.

7. WATER AND MOISTURE

Do not use this product near water–for example:
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a
swimming pool.

8. ACCESSORIES

Do not place this product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket or table.
The product may fall, causing
serious injury and serious
damage to the product. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket or table recommended
by the manufacturer or sold with
the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and
should use a mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer.

8A. An appliance and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

9. VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the
back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to
ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the product

on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This
product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat source. 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's instructions have
been adhered to.

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 appliance
dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.

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-supply 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 cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.

13. LIGHTNING

To protect your product from a lightning storm,
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 power-line surges.

14. 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 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.

15. OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.

16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

voltage points or short out parts that could result in
fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type
of liquid on the product.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to the
product, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge product, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge product, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for grounding
electrodes.

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

18. 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.

19. REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or those that have
the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.

20. SAFETY CHECK

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
product, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the product is in
proper operating condition.

21. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING

The product should be mounted to a wall or

ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.

22. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled or objects have

fallen into the product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or

water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions, as an adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its
normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the

cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change

in performance–this indicates a need for
service.

23. HEAT

The product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves
or other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of
the NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.

Protect Your Furniture

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber “feet” to prevent the product
from moving when you operate the controls. These “feet” are made from
non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any
marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based
furniture polishes, wood preservatives or cleaning sprays may cause the
rubber “feet” to soften and leave marks or a rubber residue on your
furniture.

To prevent any damage to your furniture, we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at
hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply
these pads to the bottom of the rubber “feet” before you place the product
on fine wooden furniture.
