PS-8

Read First!

1.

Read these instructions.

2.

Keep these instructions.

3.

Heed all warnings.

4.

Follow all instructions.

5.

Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.

Clean only with a dry cloth.

7.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8.

Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.

Protect the power cord from being walked 

on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from 
the apparatus.

11.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by

the manufacturer.

12.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or

table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.

13.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms

or when unused for long periods of time.

14.

Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

15.

Do not use attachments not recommended by

the product manufacturer, as they may cause
hazards.

16.

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
supply 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 operating instructions.

17.

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.
See Figure A.

18.

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

19.

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or

integral convenience receptacles, as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.

20.

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.

21.

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.

22.

When replacement parts are required, be sure

the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or that have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.

23.

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.

24.

The product should be mounted to a wall or

ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock,

 do not use this (polarized) 

plug with an extension cord, 

receptacle or other outlet 

unless the blades can 

be fully inserted to 

prevent blade exposure.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, 
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to 
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 

“dangerous voltage” within the product’s 

enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a 
risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral 
triangle is intended to alert the user to the 
presence of important operating and 
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the 

literature accompanying the appliance.
