Zinwell ZAT-332 Owner's Manual

Manual Number: 081203D

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please review the following safety precautions. If this is the first time using this model of terrestrial TV
tuner, then read this manual before installing or using the tuner. If the tuner is not functioning properly,
please contact your local distributor or system installer.

The lightning symbol in the triangle is used to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage
inside the tuner that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to anyone opening the
case. It is also used to indicate improper installation or handling of the tuner that could damage

the electrical system in the tuner or in other equipment attached to the tuner.

The exclamation point in the triangle is used to alert you to important operating and maintenance
instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to you or damage to the
tuner.

Be careful with electricity:

z Power outlet: To prevent electric shock, be sure the electrical plug used on the tuner’s power cord matches

the electrical outlet used to supply power to the tuner.

z Power cord: Be sure the power cord is routed so that it will not be stepped on or pinched by heavy items.
z Power overloading: Avoid overloading electrical outlets or extension cords which otherwise could result in

electric shock or fire.

z Lightning: For protection from lightning or when the tuner is left unattended for a long period, disconnect it

from the power source.

z Protect other equipment: Unplug the tuner before connecting any other equipment, especially the TV

antenna. Connect all equipment to the tuner before plugging in any power cords to the power source.

z Power line: Be sure your TV antenna is not located near overhead power lines, or where it might fall into any

power lines. Also be careful to avoid touching any such power lines when installing the TV antenna.

z Antenna Grounding: Be sure that the antenna is grounded to provide protection from lightning and build-up of

static electricity. Also, be sure that the power has been turned off before connecting any of the RF connectors.

Also follow these precautions:

z Ventilation: Do not block the ventilation slots on the tuner or place any heavy object on top of it.

Blocking the air flow could damage the tuner. Arrange components so that air can flow freely around the tuner.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation if the tuner is placed in a stand. Put the tuner in a properly ventilated
area, away from direct sunlight or any source of heat.

z Overheating: Avoid stacking the tuner on top of a hot component such as a power amplifier.
z Risk of Fire: Do not place the tuner on top of any easily combustible material, such as carpet or fabric.
z Proper Connections: Be sure all cables and equipment are connected to the tuner as described in this

manual.

z Object Entry: To avoid electric shock, never stick anything in the slots on the case or remove the cover.
z Water Exposure: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the tuner to rain or moisture.
z Keep the tuner out of the reach of children or it may fall, causing injury or damage to the tuner.
z Always disconnect the power cord from the power outlet when you are not using the tuner. This reduces your

risk of electric shocks or fire.

z Always turn off the tuner, disconnect it from the power outlet, and unplug all other cables from before moving

the tuner. This reduces your risk of electric shocks or fire.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
