•  Outdoor Antenna Grounding

 - If an outside antenna or cable system is 

connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded

when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from 
the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent 
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

•  Power Lines

 - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity 

of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it 
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna 
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines 
or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 

•  Overloading

through openings 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 product. 

•  Headphones

 - Excessive sound pressure form earphones and headphones can 

cause hearing loss.

•  Damage Requiring Service

 - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer 

servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

– If the product 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 will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to  
 restore the product to its normal operation.  

– If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
– When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a  

need for service. 

•  Replacement Parts

technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have 
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may 
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

governmental regulations or environmental public instruction’s rules that apply
