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. Only use the AC adapter that came with the unit.
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.
