READ FIRST!

Important Safety Precautions!

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 open-

ings. 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 ground-
ing-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, tri-

pod, bracket or table specified by the
manufacturer or sold with the appa-
ratus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combi-
nation 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 dam-
aged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the appara-
tus, 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 sup-
ply to your home, consult your prod-
uct 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 require-
ments 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 cir-
cuits. 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 conve-
nience 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 tech-
nician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or that
have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitu-
tions 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 recom-
mended 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.
