Important Safeguards
1. Read, Follow, and Retain Instructions - All safety and oper-
ating instructions should be read and followed before oper-
ating the unit. Retain instructions for future reference.
2. Heed Warnings - Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in
the operating instructions.
3. Attachments - Attachments not recommended by the prod-
uct manufacturer should not be used, as they may cause
hazards.
4. Installation Cautions - Do not place this unit on an unstable
stand, tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing
serious injury to a person and serious damage to the unit.
Use only manufacturer-recommended accessories, or those
sold with the product. Mount the unit per the manufac-
turer's instructions. Appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, or
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combina-
tion to overturn.
5. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning.
Follow any instructions provided with the unit. Generally,
using a damp cloth for cleaning is sufficient. Do not use liq-
uid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel.
7. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the main
AC power source and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
•If liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen into the
unit.
•If the unit has been exposed to water and/or inclement
weather (rain, snow, etc.).
•If the unit does not operate normally, when following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls specified
in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage, and require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal oper-
ation.
•If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
•If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this
indicates that service is needed.
8. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,
the service technician should use replacement parts speci-
fied by the manufacturer or that have the same characteris-
tics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
9. Safety Check - Upon completion of servicing or repairs to
the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure proper operating condition.
10.Power Sources - Operate the unit only from the type of
power source indicated on the label. If unsure of the type of
power supply to use, contact your dealer or local power
company.
•For units intended to operate from battery power, refer to
the operating instructions.
•For units intended to operate with External Power Sup-
plies, use only the recommended approved power supplies.
•For units intended to operate with a limited power source,
this power source must comply with EN60950. Substitu-
tions may damage the unit or cause fire or shock.
•For units intended to operate at 24VAC, normal input volt-
age is 24VAC. Voltage applied to the unit's power input
should not exceed 30VAC.
User-supplied wiring, from the 24VAC supply to unit, must
be in compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power lev-
els). Do not ground the 24VAC supply at the terminals or at
the unit's power supply terminals.
11.Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected
to the unit, ensure that the cable system is grounded.
U.S.A. models only - Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding
proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure,
grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
12.Grounding - This unit may be equipped with a 3-wire
grounding plug (a plug with a third pin, for grounding). This
safety feature allows the plug to fit into a grounding power
outlet only. If unable to insert the plug into the outlet, con-
tact an electrician to arrange replacement of the obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding
plug.
•Outdoor equipment should only be connected to the unit's
inputs after this unit has had its grounding plug connected
to a grounded outlet or its ground terminal properly con-
nected to a ground source.
•The unit's input connectors must be disconnected from
outdoor equipment before disconnecting the grounding
plug or grounding terminal.
•Proper safety precautions such as grounding should be fol-
lowed for any outdoor device connected to this unit.
13.Lightning - For added protection during a lightning storm,
or when this unit is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to
the unit due to lightning and power line surges.
