OWNERS MANUAL
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN
EXTENSION CORD RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE
FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
ATTENCION: POUR PREVENIR LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, NE PAS UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISEE
AVEC UN PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT,
SAUF SI LES LAMES PEUVENT ETRE INSEREES A FOND SANS EN LAISSER AUCUNE PARTIE A
DECOUVERT.
1. Read Instructions: All safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions: The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings: All warnings on the appliance
should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions: All operating and user instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning: Unplug this appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleansers.
6. Do Not Use Attachments: Use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture: Do not use this product near water—
for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool—and
the like.
8. Accessories: Do not place this product on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to
the appliance.
9. Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
10. Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
11. Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved
due to uneven mechanical loading.
12. Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the

Controller/Power Supply
effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
13. Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
14. Power Sources: This product 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 supplied to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
15. Power-cord Protection: Power-supply cords should be routed so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords
and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
16. Lightning: For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for long
periods of time, the unit should be disconnected from power
source.
17. Power Lines: An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric
light or power circuits, 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 may be fatal.
18. Object and Liquid Entry: Never push objects of any kind
into this product 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 product.
19. Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product 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 this product 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 product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by follow ing the operating instruction. Adjust only those con trols that are covered by the operating instructions.
An improper adjustment may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified tech nician to restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor mance—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 parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.
22. Safety Check: Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in proper operating
conditions.
23. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: Before attempting to install
this product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm) copper, No.8 AWG
(8.4mm) aluminum, No.7 AWG (10mm) copper-clad
steel or bronze wire or larger, as ground wire.
b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house
with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to
6 feet (1.83m) apart.
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to
where lead-in enters house.
d. A driven rod may be used as the grounding electrode
where other types of electrode systems do not exist.
Refer to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 1984 for information.
e. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG
(13.3mm) copper or equivalent, when a separate
antenna grounding electrode is used.
NOTE TO THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
THIS REMINDER IS PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER’S ATTENTION TO ARTICLE 820-22 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.
