ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 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.

Installation
This unit Location
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from
areas of excessive heat or moisture.
To insure optimum color purity do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other
speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment
The Video / Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video
and audio cables. For best performance, video cables should utilize 75 coaxial shielded
wire.

FCC STATEMENT
FCC INFORMATION
Radio Interference
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limit for a Class B Digital
Device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules. The rules are
designed to provide reasonable protection against radio and television interference in a
residential 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 interference to radio or televisions reception (which you
can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures.
Reposition or relocate the receiving antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the interference.
Change the position of the Digital CATV Terminal with respect to the
radio or television equipment that is receiving interference.
Move the Digital CATV Terminal away from equipment receiving interference.
Plug the Digital CATV Terminal into a different wall outlet so the Digital CATV Terminal and equipment receiving the interference are on
different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television techni-cian for assistance.
FCC CAUTION:
Pursuant to 47CFR, Part 15.21 of the FCC rules, any changes or modifications to this Digital CATV Terminal not expressly approved by Matsushita
