Important Safety Notice
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and
keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and
instructions placed on the set, or described in the operating
instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the type
of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your local
power company.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not being used. When the set is
left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an
internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set through the cabinet
slots 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 the set.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior
of the set.
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near water — for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, table or shelf. The
set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and
serious damage to the set. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are
provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings
must never be blocked or covered.
❑
Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other
materials.
❑
Never block the slots and openings by placing the set on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
❑
Never place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or
built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
❑
Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or
where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
Power-Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and
do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or
abuse.
Lightning
For added protection for this receiver during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable. This will
prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line
surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
❑
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
❑
If liquid has been spilled into the set.
❑
If the set has been exposed to rain or water.
❑
If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being
dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.
❑
If the set does not operate normally when following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to
normal operation.
❑
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this
indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself since opening the cabinet
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the set, ask the service
technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe operating
condition, and to so certify.
