CAUTION:  

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

PRÉCAUTION: 

Danger d’explosion si les piles sont remplacées de façon incorrect. Remplacer les piles seulement par 

le même type de pile ou l’équivalent.

WARNING

: There is a danger of explosion if you attempt to charge standard Alkaline batteries in the unit.  Only use 

rechargeable NiMH batteries.

WARNING:

 Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could 

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC 

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment 

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful 

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.  If this 

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the 

user is encouraged to  try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This symbol, located on back or bottom of the 

unit, is intended to alert the user to the presence of 

uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s 

enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to 

constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

This symbol, located on back or bottom of the unit, is 

intended to alert the user to the presence of important 

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in 

the literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION

: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back).  There are no user-serviceable parts inside.  Please refer 

any servicing to qualified service personnel.

instruction.

12. 

Grounding or Polarization

 - This product may be 

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

manufacturer that has the same overload protection as 

the original plug.

15. 

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

 - If an outside antenna 

is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna 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 70, provides 

information with regard to proper grounding of the mast 

and supporting structure, 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.
