Safety Warnings & Precautions

 CAUTION 

To reduce the risk of electrical shocks, fire, and 

possible injuries, you should not remove screws, 

buttons, antennae, jacks, or any part of the enclosure; 

or expose the product to rain or moisture.

FCC ADVISORY (U.S.A.)

1. 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 harmful 

interference in a residential installation. 

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio 

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 

interference to radio communications. However, there 

is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a 

particular installation. If this equipment does cause 

harmful interference to radio or television reception, 

which can be determined by turning the equipment off 

and on, the user is encouraged to try correcting the 

problem by one or more of the following measures:

A) Reorienting and/or relocating the receiving 

antennae.

 B)Increasing the distance between the radio/TV 

equipment and the DGX-218.

 C)Connecting the radio/TV equipment to an outlet on 

a different circuit than the one into which the 

receiver is plugged.

 D)If necessary, consulting the dealer or an 

experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2. IMPORTANT: When connecting the DGX-218 to 

audio equipment, use only high-quality, shielded 

cables such as what is supplied with this product. 

Follow all installation instructions. Do not modify the 

equipment in any way, as this could void your FCC 

authorization to use the device in the U.S.

FOR CANADA/POUR LE CANADA 

Caution: To prevent electric shock, match the wide 

blade of the plug to the wide slot, and fully insert.

radio noise emissions from digital devices as set out in 

the Canadian standard for interference-causing 

equipment (“Digital Apparatus, ICES-003” from the 

Department of Communications).

Important Safety Procedures

1. Read and follow these instructions, keep them handy 

for reference, familiarize yourself with the product's 

operation, and heed all safety warnings.

2. Do not use this product near water, on wet surfaces, 

or in places where moisture may accumulate. Do not 

expose the device to dripping or splashing, and do not 

place items filled with liquids – such as vases, 

beverages, etc. – on top. Clean only with a dry cloth.

3. Do not block any ventilation openings or set device 

on carpets or rugs. Maintain sufficient room on all sides 

for airflow.

4. Do not position the device on or near radiators, 

stoves, or other electrical equipment (such as 

amplifiers) that produce heat. 

5. Do not defeat the safety purpose of a polarized or 

grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades 

with one wider than the other, while a grounding-type 

plug has two blades and one prong. The wide blade and 

the prong are safety features. If the provided plug does 

not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 

replacement of the obsolete outlet. 

6. Protect the power cord from being walked on or 

pinched, particularly where it is plugged in to an 

electrical socket and the point where it exits from the 

rear of the device. 

7. Only use the attachments and accessories specified 

by the manufacturer. 

8. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table 

specified by the manufacturer or sold with the device. 

When using a cart, use caution when moving the cart. 

9. Unplug the product during lightning storms or when it 

will not be used for long periods of time.
