Important Safety Instructions
You must be aware of safety when you install and use the apparatus:
1
Read these instructions.
2
Keep these instructions.
3
Heed all warnings.
4
Follow all instructions.
5
Do not use the apparatus near water.
6
Clean the apparatus only with a dry cloth.
7
Do not block any ventilation openings on the apparatus.
8
Install the apparatus in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
9
Do not install the apparatus near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades, with one wider than the other. A grounding-type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
11
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
12
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
13
Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
14
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as the power supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into it, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15
The power plug must be readily accessible so that the apparatus can be easily
disconnected from AC power.
16
Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
17
The apparatus is still connected to AC power whenever it is plugged in to a
live power outlet, even if it is turned off using the remote control or front panel
buttons.
Important Safety Instructions, cont.
18
No objects, including flame sources such as lit candles, should be placed on
the apparatus.
19
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the top of it.
20
Only use the power supply provided with the apparatus. Unplug the apparatus
power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.
21
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords; this can result in a risk of fire or
electrical shock.
22
Never insert objects of any kind into the apparatus through openings, as the
objects may touch dangerous voltage points or may short-out parts. This could
cause fire or electrical shock.
23
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme
care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can
be fatal.
24
Do not attempt to service the apparatus yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer
all servicing to authorized service personnel.
25
Unplug the apparatus from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
26
Do not place the apparatus in an enclosure, such as a cabinet, without proper
ventilation.
27
Do not install the apparatus in any area where the temperature can be less than
40°F or more than 113°F. If the apparatus is cold to the touch, do not plug it in
immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes
before plugging it in.
28
Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground-fault protection.
When installing equipment, unplug everything that will be connected to the
coaxial network prior to making any connections. During an electrical storm
or when the apparatus is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for everything connected to the coaxial
network, disconnect the satellite input and coaxial cable lines from the receiver,
and if connected, disconnect your Ethernet or broadband connection. These
actions provide additional protection against damage caused by lightning or
power-line surges.
29
Tighten all coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench, you may
overtighten the connections and damage the equipment.
