1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere
with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or
similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a
built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of air
through the ventilation openings.

3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

5. Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not

to have a clear area from where the cable exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC
socket.

6. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the Maintenance
section of this manual for cleaning instructions.

are not spilled into any openings or vents located on the product.

8. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.

9. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall socket and
disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.

10. Overloading – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

11. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:

A. the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.

12. Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such
as a month or longer, the power cable should be unplugged from the unit to prevent
damage or corrosion.

13. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods
described in the user’s operating instructions. Service methods not covered in the
operating instructions should be referred to qualified service personnel.
