A Consumer Guide to Product Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to 

ensure your personal safety.  However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock 

or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation 

and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all 

warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.

1.

Water and Moisture

 – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a

bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

2.

Ventilation

 – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not

interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed,

sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings.  Also, it should not

be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede

the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

3.

Heat

 – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4.

Power Sources

 – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type

described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

5.

Power-Cable Protection

 – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are

not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.  It is

always best to have a clear area from where the cable exits the unit to where it is

plugged into an AC socket.

6.

Cleaning

 – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended.  See the Maintenance

manufacturer.

9.

Lightning and Power Surge Protection

 – Unplug the unit from the wall socket and

disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left

unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the

product due to lightning and power-line surges.

10.

Overloading

 – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral

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

11.

Damage Requiring Service

 – The unit should be serviced by qualified service

personnel when:
A. the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.

12.

Periods of Nonuse

 – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time,

such as a month or longer, the power cable should be unplugged from the unit to

prevent damage or corrosion.

13.

Servicing

 – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods

described in the user’s operating instructions.  Service methods not covered in the

operating instructions should be referred to qualified service personnel.
