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 ground-
ing prong. The wide blade or the third
prong is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your out-
let, consult an electrician for replace-
ment 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 appara-
tus. When a cart is used, 
use caution when mov-
ing the cart/apparatus 
combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.

13.

Unplug this apparatus during light-

ning 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 recom-

mended by the product manufacturer,
as they may cause hazards.

16. 

This product should be operated

only from the type of power source indi-
cated 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, ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding con-
ductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.

18. 

An outside antenna system should

not be located in the vicinity of over-
head 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 cir-
cuits, as contact with them might be
fatal.

19.

Do not overload wall outlets, exten-

sion 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.

The apparatus shall not be exposed

to dripping or splashing, and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.

22.

Do not attempt to service this prod-

uct yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all serv-
icing to qualified service personnel.

23. 

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.

24. 

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.

25. 

The product should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by
the manufacturer.

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.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, 

do not remove cover (or back). 

No user-serviceable parts inside. 

Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

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.
