WARNING:
There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to moisture
or water. Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. If the unit is
exposed to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately
disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified service
person for inspection and necessary repairs.
Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Keep
this manual so you can refer to these safety instructions.
Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the
product itself. Follow all operating instructions.
Clean the enclosure only with a dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner.
Keep the ventilation inlets on the unit unobstructed. For example, do not place
the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block the ventilation
slots. If the unit is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must be sufficient
clearance around the unit and ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling.
Keep the component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other
appliance that produces heat.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage
specified on the rear panel of the unit.
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cable in any way.
Do not attempt to defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. The cable
should be connected to a 2-pin polarized wall outlet, matching the wide blade
of the plug to the wide slot of the receptacle. Do not use extension cords.
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe
angles, exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the
power cord at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit.
The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet if the unit is to be left
unused for a long period of time.
Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced
by a qualified service agency if:
• The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
• Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit.
• The unit has been exposed to rain.
• The unit shows signs of improper operation
• The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way
Place the unit on a fixed, level surface strong enough
to support its weight. Do not place it on a moveable
cart that could tip over.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
Call the CATV system or antenna installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC. This 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 pint of cable entry as practical. See installation diagram.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to radio or TV communications. There is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can determined by turning the
equipment off and on, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the unit and the television tuner.
• Connect the unit to an outlet on a different electrical circuit.
• Consult your authorized Rotel retailer for assistance.
