Instruction Manual

product. Any mounting of the product  should follow the  manufacturer's  instructions, and  should  use a mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

9.

A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the  product  and  cart combination 
to overturn.

10. Ventilation: 

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating,

and  these  openings  must  not be blocked or covered. The openings  should  never be blocked by placing  the product on a bed, sofa,  rug, or similar 

surface. This product  should  not be placed in a built-in installation  such as bookcase or rack  unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's 

instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources: 

This product 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 

supplied to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the

product's operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization: 

This product may be equipped  with a polarized alternating-current  line  plug (a plug having  one  blade  wider  than  the

other). This  plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the  plug fully  into the outlet, try reversing

the  plug. If the  plug  should  still  fail to fit, contact your  electrician to replace your  obsolete outlet. Do not  defeat  the  safety purpose of the  polarized 

plug. Alternate Warnings – If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding- type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, the plug will only fit 

into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert  the  plug  into the  outlet, contact your  electrician to replace your 

obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

 

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire

to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode.

14. Power-Cord Protection: 

Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, 

paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

15. Lightning: 

For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.

 

16. Power  Lines: 

An  outside  antenna system should  not be located in the  vicinity of overhead power lines,  other  electric  light or power circuits,  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 may be fatal.

 

17. Overloading: 

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

 

18. Object and Liquid Entry: 

Never push objects of any kind into this product 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.

 

19. Servicing: 

Do  not  attempt  to  service  this  product  yourself  as  opening  or  removing  covers  may  expose  you  to  dangerous  voltage  or  other  hazards.

 

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service: 

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

 

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

 

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

 

c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

 

d) 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, e. If the product  has been dropped or damaged 

in any way, and f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.

 

21. 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 substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

 

22. Safety  Check: 

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,  ask  the  service technician to perform  safety checks to determine  that  the 

product is in proper operating condition.

 

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting: 

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
