• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the product into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the local retailer authorized to distribute this type of

product or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

1.

Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be
read before the product is operated.

2.

Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.

3.

Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.

4.

Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be
followed.

5.

Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6.

Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.

Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in
a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8.

Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.

9.

A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for

ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type

of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer
or local power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

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
product.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system

is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.

17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in

the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or

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

19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this

product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet

and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this

indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure

the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall

or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

25. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
