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.

5. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the 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 product 
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water - for example, in a 
wet basement, near a swimming pool, in an unprotected outdoor 
installation, or in any area which is classified as a wet location.
8. Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand, tripod, bracket, 
or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious 
damage to the unit. Use only with a stand, tripod, bracket, or mount 
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any 
mounting of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and 
should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
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 - Openings in the enclosure, if any, 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. This unit should not be 
placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided or the 
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
10. Power Sources - This unit 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 you plan to use, consult your 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 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. 
Alternately, this unit may be 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 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. 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 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Power Lines - An outdoor 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 outdoor 
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power 
lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. U.S.A. models only refer to the National Electrical Code Article 820 regarding installation of 
CATV systems.
14. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result 
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
15. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this unit 
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 unit.
16. 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.
17. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the 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 water and/or inclement weather
(rain, snow, etc).
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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected to the unit, be 
sure the cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only—Section 810 of the 
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1981, provides information 
with respect to proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure, 
grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, 
location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and 
requirements for the grounding electrode.
21. Lightning - For added protection of this 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 cable system. This will prevent 
damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.
