location or position does not interfere with its
proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or
similar surface that may block the ventilation
openings; or,placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede
the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
Heat
The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce
heat. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect
any cords connected to other components, and
make certain that you disconnect the unit from the
AC outlet.
Grounding or Polarization
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug
and must be used with a polarized receptacle.The
polarization or grounding of the plug should not be
defeated. If the type of receptacle being used is not
polarized, an electrician should be contacted.
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.We do not recommend the use
of extension cords with this product.
Power Lines
An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
Nonuse Periods
The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for
a long period of time.
Object and Liquid Entry
Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure
through openings.
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.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Damage Requiring Service

or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs, ask the
service technician to perform a safety check to
determine that the product is in proper operating
condition.
U.S. and Canadian customers should use 120 volts
AC only.Other customers should use voltages
appropriate to their area. Connecting the units to
an outlet supplying a higher voltage may create
a fire hazard.

Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Festival has been designed for use with 120 volt
AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than
120 volts can create a safety and fire hazard, and
may damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model or about
the line voltage in your area, consult your selling
dealer
before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards,use only the power cord
supplied with your unit.We do not recommend that
extension cords be used with this product.
As with all electrical devices, do not run power
cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy
objects on them. Damaged power cords should
be replaced immediately with cords meeting
factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC
outlet, always pull the plug,
never pull the cord
.
If you do not intend to use the unit for any
considerable length of time, disconnect the
plug from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user serviceable components inside
this product. Opening the cabinet may present a
shock hazard, and any modification to the product
will void your warranty.If water or any metal object
such as a paper clip, a wire or a staple accidentally
falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC
power source immediately and consult an
authorized service station.
CATV or Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or a cable system is
connected to this product, be certain that it is
grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, 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 of the
grounding electrode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable
TV) 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 possible.
Installation Location
To assure proper operation and to avoid the
potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a
firm and level surface.When placing the unit on a
shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting
hardware can support the weight of the product.
Make certain that proper space is provided both
above and below the unit for ventilation. If this
product will be installed in a cabinet or other
enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient
air movement within the cabinet. Under some
circumstances a fan may be required.
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations,
or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or
heating equipment.
Avoid moist or humid locations.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top
of the unit, or place objects directly over them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty,wipe it with a clean, soft,
dry cloth. If necessary,wipe it with a soft cloth
dampened with mild soapy water,and then a fresh
cloth with clean water.Wipe dry immediately with
a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene,aerosol cleaners,
thinner,alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent.
