This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the product. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

CAUTION

be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line

– Polarization – This product may

plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will ﬁ t 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 ﬁ t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

8. 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.

9. 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.

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

11. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a ﬁ re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

12. 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 qualiﬁ ed service personnel.

13. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualiﬁ ed 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.

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in

any way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance – this indicates a need for service.

g) If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected.

Replacement Parts – When replacement parts

14.

are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in ﬁ re, electric shock, or other hazards.

15. 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.

16. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – This product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

19. 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 builtup 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 antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
