SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)
Transporting
Move the combination of set-top and cart with care. Quick stops,
excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the combination
of set-top and cart to overturn. See also item 12 in the Important
Safety Instructions.
Outdoor antenna grounding
Be sure that any outside antenna or cable system connected
to your set-top is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and static charges that have built up.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (USA), 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 the diagram below.
Risk of fire or scorching
Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or
adjacent to your set-top.
Ambient temperature
The operating temperature range of your set-top is 32-104°F. If the
ambient temperature around your set-top falls outside this range,
you must correct this in order for your set-top to work correctly
and safely. For example, if the temperature is too high, switch on
the air conditioning.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or other power
outlets as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure that 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. See also item 14 in the Important Safety Instructions.
Safety check
Upon completion of any servicing or repairs to your set-top, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that
your set-top is in its proper operating condition. See also item 14
in the Important Safety Instructions.
