IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards.  
There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should  
be particularly aware of.

  1.  Read Instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should  
    be read before the system is operated.

  2.  Retain Instructions. The safety and operating instructions should  
    be retained for future reference.

  3.  Heed Warnings. All warnings on the appliances and in the operating  
    instructions should be adhered to.

  4.  Follow Instructions. All operating and use instructions should be followed.

  5.  Cleaning. Unplug the appliance from wall outlet before cleaning. Do not  
    use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

  6.  Attachments. Do not use attachments not recommended by the product  
    manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

  7.  Water and Moisture. Do not use these appliances near water‹for example,  
    near a bath tub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement,  
    or near a swimming pool, and the like.

  8.  Accessories. Do not place these appliances on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,  
    or table. The audio/video products may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,  
    and serious damage to the products. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket,  
    or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliances. Any mounting  
    of the appliances should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use mounting 
    accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

  9.  Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure  
    reliable operation of the appliances and to protect them from overheating, and these openings  
    must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the products  
    on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over  
    a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such  
    as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions  
    have been adhered to.

10 .  Power Sources. This product should be operated only from the type of power source  
    indicated on the marking labels. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your  
    home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

11.  Grounding or Polarization. This product is equipped with polarized alternating-current  
    line plugs (plugs having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power  
    outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into  
    the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician  
    to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12.  Power Cord Protection. Power-supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked  
    on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,  
    convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliances.

13.  Lightning. For added protection for this audio/video product during a lightning storm,  
    or when  it is left un-attended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from  
    the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage  
    to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

14.  Power Lines. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead  
    power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines  
    or circuits. 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.

15.  Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result  
    in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16.  Object and Liquid Entry. 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 this audio/video product.

17.  Servicing. 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.

18.  Damage Requiring Service. Unplug this product from wall outlets and refer servicing  
    to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

          a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

          b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

          c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

          d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating  
       instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating  
       instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result  
       in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician  
       to restore the product to its normal operation.

          e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

          f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates  
       a need for service.

19.  Replacement Parts. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service  
    technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that  
    the parts have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized  
    substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

   CAUTION:

 Danger of 

EXPLOSION

 if battery is incorrectly replaced.  

    Replace only with the same or equivalent type. (CR2025)

   WARNING:

 Do not expose batteries or battery pack to excessive  

    heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

20.  Safety Check. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,  
    ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that  
    the products are in proper operating condition.

21.  Carts and Stands. The appliances should be used only with a cart or stand  
    that is recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combina- 
    tion should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven  
    surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn. 
    Use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid  
    injury from tip-over.
