A Consumer Guide to Product Safety

When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for futur e r eference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.

1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat r egisters, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

5. 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. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cord exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC outlet.

6. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning instructions.

7. Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents located on the product.

8. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.

9. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect 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 and power-line surges.

10.Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

11.Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. the power supply cord or plug has been damaged. B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure. C. the unit has been exposed to rain. D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged. E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.

12.Antenna – Do not connect an external antenna to the unit (other than that provided).

13.Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a month or longer, the power cord should be unplugged from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion.

Install Battery

Install/Replace Speaker Batteries

1. Open speaker battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the iH26.

2. Insert 4 "AA" batteries, checking that the polarity ( + and - ends of the batteries) matches

the drawing inside the battery compartment. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed. Close the compartment cover.

Install/Replace Clock Backup Battery

The iH26 uses a CR2032 button cell backup battery system to provide continuous alarm operation and clock settings in the event of a power failure. If the Backup Battery has been installed and a power failure occurs or the AC cord is accidentally disconnected, the display backlight will not remain lit, but the current time and alarm time settings will be temporarily maintained. Otherwise, you must reset the time and alarm settings.

If the unit has no display or the Backup Battery Low Icon located on the left bottom of the display is flashing, it is time to replace the backup batteries.

1. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected. Otherwise all settings may be lost

during battery replacement.

2. Open backup battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit.

3. Insert one CR2032 button cell battery, checking that the polarity ( + and - ends of the

batteries) matches the drawing near the battery compartment. Close the compartment cover.

Maintenance

Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat. Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish. A cloth or other protective material

should be placed between it and the furniture.

Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning agents, such as Benzine,

thinner or similar materials can damage the surface of the unit.
