WARNING:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC (U.S.A.) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15

of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a resi-
dential installation! This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-

ference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is en-
couraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IMPORTANT:

This product was FCC verified under test conditions that included use of shielded cables and connectors between
system components. It is important that you use shielded cables to reduce the possibility of causing interference to

radios, television sets, and other electronic devices. If you have any problems, contact your dealer.

Any change or modifications to the equipment by the user not expressly approved by the grantee or manufacturer
could void the user's authority to operate such equipment.

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 practical.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance 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.

Exception: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and that for
some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization
code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for
cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the
appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the video
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product near water - for
example, near a bath tub, 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 video product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing serious injury

to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow

the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.

8A.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the video 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 video product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video 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.

10. Power Sources - This video product should be Ol_'_ed 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 appliance dealer or

local power company. For video products intended to operate front battery

power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This video product is 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 in

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.

12. 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.

13. Protective Attachment Plug - The appliance is equipped with an

attachment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature.
See Instruction Manual for replacement or resetting of protective device. If
replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a
replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload

protection as the original plug.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides

information with regard to proper grounding ot the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size ol
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Fig.A.
