Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,

do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

The lightning flash with an 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 product.

Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand or tripod, bracket or table. The
unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to
the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by
the manufacturer or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the device on a wall
or ceiling should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

Read and follow all the safety and operating instructions before connecting or
using this unit. Retain this notice and the owner’s manual for future reference.

All warnings on the unit and in its operating instructions should be adhered to.

Do not use this unit near water; for example, near a bath tub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

The unit should be installed 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 the ventilation openings; or placed
in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the
flow of air through its ventilation openings.

The unit should be situated from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

The unit should be connected to a power supply outlet only of the voltage and
frequency marked on its rear panel.

The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on
or pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles, or where the
cord exits from the unit.

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Never use benzine,
thinner or other solvents for cleaning. Use only a soft damp cloth.

The power supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the wall outlet
when  it is to be unused for a long period of time.

Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled into
the enclosure through any openings.

This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the unit; or
C. The unit has been exposed to rain or liquids of any kind; or
D. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change

in performance; or

E. The device has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

DO NOT ATTEMPT SERVICING OF THIS UNIT

YOURSELF. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSONNEL

Upon completion of any servicing or repairs, request the service shop’s
assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts with the same
characteristics as the original parts have been used, and that the routine safety
checks have been performed to guarantee that the equipment is in safe
operating condition.
REPLACEMENT WITH UNAUTHORIZED PARTS MAY RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR OTHER HAZARDS.

CAUTION

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF

PLUG TO WIDE SLOT FULLY INSERT.

If an indoor antenna is used (either built into the set or installed separately),
never allow any part of the antenna to touch the metal parts of other electrical
appliances such as a lamp, TV set etc.

CAUTION

POWER LINES

Any outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, be sure
the antenna 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 No. 70-1984, provides information with respect 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.

a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17

AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators

spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart.

c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters

house.

d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the

equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC
Section 810-21 (j).

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVISION
EQUIPMENT.

NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call

the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical
Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the ground cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

FOR U.S.A. MODEL

FCC INFORMATION FOR USER

CAUTION: 

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the

manufacturer for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate.

NOTE: 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmfiul interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
