The lightning ash 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 suf-

cient 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 impor-

tant operating and maintenance (servicing) instruc-

tions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT RE-

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec-

tion against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the in-

structions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-

tions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can

be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but

it can also cause personal injuries and property damage

if improperly handled. This product has been engineered

and manufactured with the highest priority on safety.

However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or

re. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe

the following instructions when installing, operating and

cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong

the service life of this product, please read the following

precautions carefully before use.

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in ac-

cordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radia-

tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (in-

cluding ampliers) that produce heat.

9) 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 the third prong are provided for your safety. If

the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult

an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recep-

tacles, and the point where they exit from the appara-

tus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specied by the

manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table specied by the manu-

facturer, 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 during lightning storms or

when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Ser-

vicing is required when the apparatus has been dam-

aged 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 ex-

posed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,

or has been dropped.

Additional Safety Information

15) 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 product intended to oper-

ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the

operating instructions.

16) Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension

cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of re or electric shock.

17) 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 re or electric shock.

To prevent re or shock hazard, do not expose this

appliance to dripping or splashing. No objects lled

with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the

apparatus.

18) Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualied service

personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the AC 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 follow-

ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating instruc-

tions as an improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will often require exten-

sive work by a qualied 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 per-

formance - this indicates a need for service.

19) Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specied by the manufacturer or

have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric

shock, or other hazards.

20) 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.

21) Wall or ceiling mounting - When mounting the product

on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product ac-

cording to the method recommended by the manufac-

turer.

22) 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 cir-

cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

23) Protective Attachment Plug - The product is equipped

with an attachment plug having overload protection.

This is a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for

replacement or resetting of protective device. If re-

placement of the plug is required, be sure the service

technician has used a replacement plug specied by

the manufacturer that has the same overload protec-

tion as the original plug.

24) Stand - Do not place the product on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an un-

stable base can cause the product to fall, resulting

in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the

product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or

table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with

the product. When mounting the product on a wall,

be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use

only the mounting hardware recommended by the

manufacturer.
