1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions

should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the

operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should

be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.

EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service

and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the
loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not
intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any
other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the
appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in
item 5.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by

the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this product near water, for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the product. Any mounting of
the appliance 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.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and
to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. 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 label. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug 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 cords should be routed

so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or
cable 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, 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. (Fig.
A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this product 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 antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

15. 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.

16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords

as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into

this product through any 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 the
product.

18. 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.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall

outlet 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 damaged in any way.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance

this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be

sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

22. Heat - This product should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
