reference. 

3. Cleaning 

Unplug this equipment from the power source before cleaning it. Do not 
use liquid aerosol cleaners. Use a damp soft cloth for cleaning. 

4. Attachments 

Never  add  any  attachments  and/or  equipment  without  the  approval  of 
the manufacturer as such additions may result in the risk of fire, electric 
shock or other personal injury. 

5. Power Sources 

This equipment should be operated only from the type of power source 
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power, 
please consult your equipment dealer or local power company. 

6. Power Cords 

Operator or installer must remove power and other connections before 
handling the equipment. 

7. Lightning 

For added protection for this equipment during a lightning storm, or when 
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the 
power  source  and  disconnect  the  antenna  or  cable  system.  This  will 
prevent  damage  to  the  equipment  due  to  lightning  and  power-line 
surges. 

8. Objects and Liquids 

Never push objects of any kind through openings of this equipment as they 
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a 
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the equipment. 

9. Servicing 

Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself. Refer all servicing to 
qualified service personnel. 

10. Damage requiring Service 

Unplug  this  equipment  from  the  power  source  and  refer  servicing  to 
qualified service personnel under the following conditions: 

A.

 

When the power cabling has been damaged. 

B.

 

If liquid is spilled, or objects have fallen into the equipment. 

C.

 

If the electronic components have been exposed to rain or water. 

D.

 

If the equipment does not operate normally by following the operating 
instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating 
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in 
damage and  may require extensive work by a qualified technician to 
restore the equipment to its normal operation. 

E.

 

If the equipment has been dropped or damaged. 

F.

 

When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance ─ this 
indicates a need for service. 

 

11. Replacement Parts 

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has 
used  replacement  parts  specified  by  the  manufacturer.  Unauthorized 
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. 

12. Safety Check 

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this equipment, ask the service 
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the equipment is in 
proper operating condition. 

13. Field Installation 

This  installation  should  be  made  by  a  qualified  service  person  and 
should conform to all local codes. 

14.  Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature 

If installed in an enclosed space, the operating ambient temperature of the 
environment  may  be  greater  than  room  ambient.    Therefore,  consideration 
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible 
with the maximum rated ambient temperature. 

15.  Reduced Air Flow 

Installation of the equipment should be such that the amount of airflow 
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. 

16. Mechanical Loading 

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous 
condition is not caused by uneven mechanical loading. 

17.  Circuit Overloading 

Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to supply 
circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over current 
protection and supply wiring.  Appropriate consideration of equipment 
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. 

18. Reliable Grounding 

Reliable grounding of equipment should be maintained. 

19. Water/Moisture 

Avoid installing in areas where water or moisture may accumulate (with 
the  exception  of  exterior-mounted  cameras  as  resistance  to  exterior 
moisture is part of its intended use).
