particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

manufacturer.

12. Use only 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.

13. Unplug this apparatus and disconnect the antenna or

cable system during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing

is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

15. Do not overload wall outlets; extension cords, or integral

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

16. Never expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing or

place items such as vases, aquariums, any other item
filled with liquid, or candles on top of the unit.

17. Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing.

Neglecting to do so may cause serious personal injury.

18. Do not place anything on top of this unit.

19. Do not place the apparatus on amplifiers or equipment

that may produce heat.

20. Never block or cover the slots or openings in the unit.

Never place the unit:
• on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface;
• too close to drapes, curtains, or walls; or
• in a confined space such as a bookcase, built-in cabinet,

or any other place with poor ventilation.

The slots and openings are provided to protect the unit

from overheating and to help maintain reliable operation.

21. Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These

discs are easily broken and may cause serious personal
injury and apparatus malfunction.

22. If the apparatus should emit smoke or an unusual odor,

immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet. Wait until the smoke or smell stops, then ask your
dealer for a check and repair. Neglecting to do so may
cause fire.

23. During thunderstorms, do not touch the connecting

cables or the apparatus.

24.

DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!

• Use extreme care to make sure you are never in a

position where your body (or any item you are in
contact with, such as a ladder or screwdriver) can
accidentally touch overhead power lines. Never locate
the antenna near overhead power lines or other
electrical circuits.

• Never attempt to install any of the following during

lightning activity: a) an antenna system; or b) cables,
wires, or any home theater component connected to an
antenna or phone system.

25. Always make sure the antenna system is properly

grounded to provide adequate protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section
810 of the National Electric Code).
