IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

 

 

14.  

LIGHTNING: 

For added protection for the unit during a lightning storm, or 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 unit due to lightning and power line surges.

 

 

15.  

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, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

 

 

16.  

OVERLOADING: 

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can 

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

 

 

17.  

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: 

Never push objects of any kind into the unit 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 unit.

 

 

18.  

SERVICING: 

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to 

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

 

 

19.  

REPLACEMENT PARTS: 

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service 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.

 

 

20.  

SAFETY CHECK: 

Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety 

checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.

 

 

21.  

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING: 

The unit should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the 

manufacturer.

 

 

22.  

HEAT: 

The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units

 

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

 

 

23.  

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: 

Before connecting a new component to your audio or home theater system it is 

always good practice to make certain that all components are turned off, and preferably unplugged from their AC 

power source. Many modern electronics products feature automatic turn-on circuits that may be activated during an 

installation, causing the potential for damage to electronic components and/or speakers. Such damage is not covered 

by product warranties and Cary Audio specifically disclaims responsibility for any such damage.

 

 

Power Cord: 

The removable power cord that is shipped with the player is specifically designed to be used with this 

product. Other AC cords may be used, so consult your dealer for advice on AC power cords and high quality wire in 

your system.

 

 

AC Fuse: 

The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user serviceable. If power does not 

come on, contact your authorized service representative.

 

 

Wiring: 

Cables that run inside of walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate 

compliance with, and listing by the UL, CSA or other standards required by the UL, CSA, NEC or your local building 

code. Questions about cables inside of walls should be referred to a qualified custom installer, or a licensed 

electrician or low-voltage contractor.

 

 

Do Not Open the Cabinet: 

There are no user serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet 

may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your warranty. If water or any metal 

object, such as a paper clip, coin, or staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source 

immediately and contact Cary Audio for further instructions.

 

 

24.  

RECORDING COPYRIGHT: 

Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without 

permission of the copyright holder.

 

 

25.  

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: 

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to 

article 820-40 of the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies 

that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry 

as practical.
