CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock,

do not remove the grounding plug on the power cord, or use any plug

or extension cord that does not have

a grounding plug provided.

Make certain that the

AC outlet is properly grounded.

Do not use an adapter plug

with this product.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated

“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

1. Read Instructions. All the safety and

operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.

2. Retain Instructions. The safety and

operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings. All warnings on the

product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions. 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 damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments. Do not use attach-

ments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture. Donot use this

product near water – for example, near a bathtub, 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 prod-

uct on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, 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.

9. A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick

stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation. Slots and openings in

the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and 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 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.

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

12. 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.

13. 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 product.

14. Nonuse Periods. The power cord of

the product should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for long periods of time.

15. 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 Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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. See Figure 1.

16. Lightning. For added protection for

this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.

17. 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

Figure 1. Example of Antenna Grounding as per National ElectricalCode, ANSI/NFPA 70

lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

18. Overloading. Do not overload wall

outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19. Object and Liquid Entry. Never

push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or shortout parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

20. 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.

21. Damage Requiring Service. Unplug

this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. The power-supply cord or the plug

has been damaged; or

b. Objects have fallen onto, or liquid

has been spilled into, the product; or

c. The product has been exposed to rain

or water; or

d. The product does not operate nor-

mally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper 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; or

e. The product has been dropped or

damaged in any way; or

f. The product exhibits a distinct

change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts. When replace-

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

23. 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.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting. The

product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
