SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Read before operating equipment

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should

be read before the appliance is operated.

Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should

be retained for future reference.

Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be

followed.

Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water

- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, etc.

Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or

stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or

position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10.

Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power

supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11.

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 and plugs, convenience recep^cles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

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.

12. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended

by the manufacturer.

13. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from

power lines.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to

the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to

provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,

provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and

requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. below.

15. Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be

unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16. Obfect and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do

not tall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through

openings.

17. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by

qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

appliance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits

a marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

18. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance

beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

Note to the 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.
