THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE
CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.

THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE
ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE
LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE
APPLIANCE.

1. Read instructions - All the safety and operating instruc-

tions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instruc-

tions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in

the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions

should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted
service and, that for some specific reason, such as the
possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a
CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the
user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the
reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning
description otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommend-

ed by the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water-

for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, caus­ing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
unit. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and
should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufac­turer. 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.

AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne
doit être placé que sur un meu­ble (avec ou sans roulettes)
recommandé par le fabricant. Si
vous l’installez sur un meuble à
roulettes, déplacez les deux
ensembles avec précaution. Un
arrêt brusque, l’utilisation d’une
force excessive et des surfaces
irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le
renverser.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the

back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the unit and to protect it
from overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or
over a radiator or heat register. This unit 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 unit 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 the units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instruc­tions.

11.Grounding or Polarization - This unit 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. Outdoor Antenna grounding - If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the unit, 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 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 grounding electrode.
(Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this unit receiver

during 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 unit due to lightning and
power-line surges.

15. 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.

16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and exten-

sion cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any

kind into this unit 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 unit.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself

as opening or removing covers may expose you to dan­gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this unit 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 or

frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions, as improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and

will often require extensive work by a qualified techni-

cian to restore the unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance,

this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used replace-

ment parts specified by the manufacturer that have the

same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to

persons or other hazards.

21. Safety Check - pon completion of any service or repairs

to this unit, ask the service technician to perform routine

safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper

operating condition.

22. Heat - This unit product should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
