ARE REQUIREMENTS OF UL AND CSA SAFETY REGULATIONS
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the unit.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-
ommended by the manufacturer or sold with the unit. Any
mounting of the device should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Read all the safety and operating instructions before connecting or using
this unit.
Retain this notice and the owner’s manual for future reference.
All warnings on the unit and in its operating instructions should be
adhered to.
All operating and use instructions should be followed.
Do not use this unit near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
The unit should be installed so that its location or position does not inter-
fere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on
a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation open-
ings; or placed in a built-in installation, such as bookcase or cabinet, that
may impede the flow of air through its ventilation openings.
The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
The unit should be connected to a power supply outlet only of the voltage
and frequency marked on its rear panel.
The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be
walked on or pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles,
or where the cord exits from the unit.
Clean unit only as recommended in its instruction manual.
The power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the wall out-
let when it is to be unused for a long period of time.
Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not
spilled, into the enclosure through any openings.
This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the unit; or
C. The unit has been exposed to rain, or liquids of any kind; or
D. The unit does not appear to operate normally, or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E. The device has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
DO NOT ATTEMPT SERVICING OF THIS UNIT YOURSELF.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

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.
CAUTION POWER LINES
Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected
to your tuner or tuner / preamplifier, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re-
quirements for the grounding electrode.
Use No.10 AWG (5.3 mm
2
) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) aluminum, No.17
AWG (1.0 mm
2
) copper clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground
wire.
Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insula-
tors spaced from 46 feet (1.221.83 m) apart.
Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters
house.
Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm
2
) copper, or the
equivalent, when a separate antenna grounding electrode is used. See
NEC Section 810-21 (j).

the earth if required by local codes.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the
CATV system installer’s attention to Article 82022 of the National Electri-
cal Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding sys-
tem of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
