This product was designed and manufactured to meet
strict quality and safety standards. There are, however,
some installation and operation precautions which you
should be particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions — All the safety and operating in-
structions should be read before the appliance is
operated.
2. Retain Instructions — The safety and operating in-
structions 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 instruc-
tions should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture — The appliance should not be
used near water — for example, near a bathtub,
wash-bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
6. Carts and Stands — The appliance should be used
only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the
manufacturer.
7. 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.
8. Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The appliance should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
9. Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so
that its location or position does not interfere with its
proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or,
placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase
or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.
10. Heat — The appliance should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
11. Power Sources — The appliance should be con-
nected to a power supply only of the type described
in the operating instructions or as marked on the
appliance.
12. Grounding or Polarization — The precautions that
should be taken so that the grounding or polarization
means of an appliance is not defeated.

13. 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.
14. Cleaning — The appliance should be cleaned only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Power Lines— An outdoor antenna should be lo-
cated away from power lines.
16. 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.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and support-
ing structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Fig. 1.
17. Nonuse Periods — The power cord of the appliance
should be unplugged from the outlet when left
unused for a long period of time.
18. Object and Liquid Entry — Care should be taken so
that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into
the enclosure through openings.
19. Damage Requiring Service — The appliance should
be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the
appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the
enclosure damaged.
20. Servicing — The user should not attempt to service
the appliance beyond that described in the operating
instructions. All other servicing should be referred to
qualified service personnel.
