IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS
All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. CLEANING
Unplug this unit 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 attachments not recommended by the unit's manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not use this unit near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
8. ACCESSORIES
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table 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 and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the unit
and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
source. This unit 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 SOURCE
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit 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 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. If your unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, this plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. POWERCORD 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.

3I60201A E/COV-09 03*02*2000, 22:402
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit 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 unit due to lightning and power line
surges.
14. 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.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, 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 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.
18. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 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 unit.
c . If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by 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 unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f . When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
unit is in proper operating condition.
22. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
23. HEAT
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV 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.

that batteries should be replaced on a yearly basis, or when
the remote operation becomes erratic. Do not mix old and
new batteries or different types.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when using batteries
in this device:
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the
batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.
Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g.
Alkaline and Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.
• If the device is not to be used for a long period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from
possible battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery
manufacturer's directions.)

If you subscribe to a cable service which requires the use of a
Converter/Descrambler box, connect the incoming cable to the
Converter/Descrambler box and connect the output of the box
to the Antenna Jack on the back of the television. Follow the
connections shown left. Set the television to the output of the
Converter/Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use
the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with
Scrambled Premium Channels
If you subscribe to a cable service in which basic cable
channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the
use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a
two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a "two-set coupler")
and an A/B Switch box from the cable installer or an electronics
supply store. Follow the connections shown left. With the switch
in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled
channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune
your TV to the output of the Converter/Descrambler box (usually
channel 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels.
