When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal safety.  However, 
improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully 
before installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in 
these instructions and on the unit.
 
1.  

Water and Moisture

 – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, 

laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement. 

2.  

Ventilation

 – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For 

example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings.  Also, it 
should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of air through 
the ventilation openings.

3. 

 Heat

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

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4.  

Power Sources

 – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions 

or as marked on the appliance.

5.  

Power-Cable Protection

 – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched 

by items placed upon or against them.  It is always best to have a clear area from where the cable exits the unit to where 
it is plugged into an AC socket.

6.  

Cleaning

 – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended.  See the Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning 

instructions.

7. 

Objects and Liquid Entry

 – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into any openings 

or vents located on the product.

8. 

Attachments

 – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.

9. 

Lightning and Power Surge Protection

 – Unplug the unit from the wall socket and disconnect the antenna or cable 

system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage 
to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

10. 

Overloading

  – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in 

a risk of fire or electric shock.

11. 

Damage Requiring Service

 – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. 

the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.

B.  

objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.

C.  

the unit has been exposed to rain.

D. 

the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

E.  

the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.

12. 

Antenna

 – Do not connect an external antenna to the unit (other than that provided).

13. 

Periods of Nonuse

 – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a month or longer, the power 

cable should be unplugged from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion. 

14. 

Servicing

 – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described in the user’s operating 

instructions.  Service methods not covered in the operating instructions should be referred to qualified service personnel.
