IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
DVR-505/DVR-7000 (EN)
13.Lightning – For added protection for this appliance 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 appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
14.Abnormal smell If an abnormal smell or smoke is
detected, immediately turn the power OFF and unplug the appliance from the wall outlet. Contact your dealer or nearest service center.
POWER OFF!
15.Damage requiring service – The appliance should
be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
Preparations
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged. B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water. D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally
by following the instruction manual. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the instruction manual as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation. E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
F. The appliance exhibits a marked change in performance.
16.Servicing – The user should not attempt to service
the appliance beyond that described in the instruction manual. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
17.Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outside antenna
is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna 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 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. See Figure.
18.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.AC outlets Do not connect other audio equipment
with a power consumption larger than that specified to the AC outlet on the rear panel. Never connect other electrical appliances, such as an iron or toaster, to it to prevent fire or electric shock.
20. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
21. Attachment – Do not use attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
