BAVM-860SAW Instruction Manual
Safety Instructions - continued
➧
We strongly recommend using an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For added
protection during a lightning storm, or when the modulator is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the lines between the modulator and the antenna. This will prevent damage
caused by lightning or power line surges.
➧
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or
circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
➧
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
➧
Never insert objects of any kind into the modulator through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock.
➧
Do not attempt to service the modulator yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
and will void the warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
➧
Unplug the modulator from the wall outlet and refer servicing to authorized service personnel whenever the following
occurs:
❐
The power supply cord or plug is damaged;
❐
Liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the modulator;
❐
The modulator has been exposed to rain or water;
❐
The modulator has been dropped or the chassis has been damaged;
❐
The modulator exhibits a distinct change in performance.
➧
When replacement parts are required, ensure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by Blonder
Tongue. Unauthorized substitutions may damage the modulator or cause electrical shock or fire, and will void the
warranty.
➧
Upon completion of any service or repair to the modulator, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure
that the modulator is in proper operating condition.
