SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict
quality and safety standards. There are, however, some in-
stallation and operation precautions which you should be par-
ticularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions — All the safety and operating instruc-
tions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instruc-
tions 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 instructions
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 manufac-
turer.
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 over-
turn.
8. Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper ven-
tilation. For example, the appliance should not be situ-
ated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block
the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installa-
tion, 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 connected 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 par-
ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
14. Cleaning — The appliance should be cleaned only as rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
15. Power Lines— An outdoor antenna should be located
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 volt-
age surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, pro-
vides information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con-
ductors, 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 enclo-
sure 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 appli-
ance; 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 instruc-
tions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified
service personnel.
