11. Power Sources —The appliance 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 appliance
dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization —The appliance 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 appliance.
14 . Outdoor Antenna Grounding —If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, 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 leadin 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.
15. Lightning —For added protection for the 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.
16 .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.

Important Safeguards —Continued
17. Overloading —Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry —Never push objects of
any kind into the appliance through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. Servicing —Do not attempt to service the appliance
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service —Unplug the appliance
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 appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by follow-
ing 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 appliance to its
normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in per-
formance – this indicates a need for service.
21. Replacement Parts —When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check —Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting —The appliance should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
24. Heat —The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,

WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the
voltage requirements printed on the TX-8011
Receiver’s rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC
120 V, 60 Hz).
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY
does not fully shutdown the TX-8011 Receiver. If
you do not intend to use the TX-8011 Receiver for
an extended period, remove the power cord from the
AC outlet.
Memory backup
The TX-8011 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings
when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure.
Although no batteries are required, the TX-8011
Receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to
charge the backup system.
Once it has been charged, the TX-8011 Receiver will
retain the settings for several weeks, although this
depends on the environment and will be shorter in
humid climates.
