GROUNDING  OR  POLARIZATION

:  As  a  safety 

feature,  the  unit  may  be  equipped  with  a  polarized 
alternating  current  line  plug  in  which  one  blade  is  wider 
than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only 
one way. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, 
try reversing the plug. If the plug still will not fit, contact a 
licensed electrician to update your obsolete outlet. Do not 
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  

10. 

POWER  SOURCES

:  Operate  the  unit  only  from  the 

power  source  indicated  on  the  marking  label.  If  you  are 
unsure  of  the  type  of  power  supplied  to  your  home, 
consult your unit dealer or local power company.  

11. 

POWER  CORD  PROTECTION

:  Arrange  power 

supply cords so that they do not suffer from foot traffic or 
pinching  by  items  placed  on  or  against  them.  Pay  close 
attention  to  cords  where  plug  enter  the  AC  outlet  and 
where they exit from the unit.  

12. 

LIGHTNING

:  For  added  protection  during  a  lightning 

storm  or  when  the  component  is  idle  for  long  periods  of 
time,  unplug  the  unit from  the  wall  outlet  and  disconnect 
the  antenna  or  cable  system.  This  will  help  protect  the 
unit from lightning and power line surge damage.  

13. 

POWER  LINES

:  Do  not  locate  an  outside  antenna 

system  in  the  vicinity  of  overhead  power  lines  or  other 
electric light or power circuits. When installing an outside 

antenna system, take extreme care to avoid touching the 
power lines or circuits; contact with them could be fatal.  

14. 

OVERLOADING

:  Do  not  overload  wall  outlets, 

extension  cords,  or  integral  convenience  receptacles  as 
this increases the risk of fire or electric shock  

15. 

REPLACEMENT  PARTS

:  When  replacement  parts 

are  required,  be  sure  the  service  technician  has  used 
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those 
having  the  same  characteristics  as  the  original  parts. 
Unauthorized  substitutions  may  result  in  fire,  electric 
shock or other hazards.  

16. 

SAFETY CHECK

: Upon completion of any service or 

repairs  to  the  unit,  ask  the  service  technician  to  perform 
safety  checks  to  ensure  the  unit  is  in  proper  operating 
condition.  

17. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE

:  

• Before connecting a new product such as the U280-SC 
to  your  audio  or  home  theater  system,  turn  off  all  other 
equipment  (preferably  unplugging  them  from  the  AC 
power  source).  Many  audio  components  feature 
automatic  turn-on  circuits  that  may  activate  during  an 
installation,  potentially  causing  damage  to  electronic 
components and/or speakers. This type of damage is not
