have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus

has been exposed to rain or moisture, does

not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Maintain a minimum distance of 2 inches

(50mm) around the front, rear, and sides

of the apparatus for sufficient ventilation. The

ventilation should not be impeded by covering

the ventilation openings or placing on or

around the apparatus items such as newspapers,

tablecloths, curtains, etc.

No naked flame sources, such as 

lighted candles, should be placed on

the apparatus.

The apparatus should not be exposed

to dripping or splashing. No objects

filled with liquids, such as vases, should be

placed on the apparatus.

The apparatus is suitable for use in

tropical and/or moderate climates.

LASER BEAM: Do not look into the

opening of the disc slot or ventilation

opening of the product to see the source of

the laser beam. It may cause sight damage.

DISC: Do not use a cracked, deformed,

or repaired disc. These discs are easily

broken and may cause serious personal injury

and product malfunction.

This reminder is provided to call the

CATV system installer’s attention to Article
