IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

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 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 grounding prong. The wide blade or the 
third prong is 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,  tripod,  bracket,  or  table 
specified  by  the manufacturer, or sold  with the apparatus. 
When  a  cart  is  used,  use  caution  when  moving  the 
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning 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. This appliance should be mounted in an equipment 
rack as recommended by the manufacturer. 
16. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and 
liquids  are  not  spilled  into  the  enclosure  through 
openings. 
17. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected 
to  the  video  product,  be  sure  the  antenna  or  cable 
system  is  grounding  so  as  to  provide  some  protection 
against  voltage  surges  and  built-up  static  charges. 
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 
70,  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. See Figure A. 
 

NOTE:  This  reminder  is  provided  to  call  the  CATV 
system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC 
that  provides  guidelines  for  proper  grounding  and,  in 
particular,  specifies  that  the  cable  ground  shall  be 
connected  to  the  grounding  system  of  the  building,  as 
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
