quality and safety standards. You should, however, be aware of the following important precautions

for safe and optimal use of the equipment.

Meaning of symbols printed on the rear panel of the product:

• The “ bolt of lightning” indicates un-insulated material within your unit may cause an

electrical shock. For the safety of everyone in your household, please do not remove product

covering.

• The “exclamation point” calls attention to features for which you should read the enclosed

literature closely to prevent operating and maintenance problems.

Important Safety Instructions

1) When you use product, certainly read this instruction about safety.

2) When you use product, certainly keep this instruction about safety.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

to article 810, in particular 810-1 and 810-15, for required grounding of the metal structure of the dish antenna.

Refer also to the 810-2 which, by reference to article 820, requires that the satellite dish coaxial cable shield be

connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

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.

power cords into the wall outlet. Use of a surge protector is also recommended.

• Don’t overload power outlets or extension cords, which can result in the risk of ﬁre or shock.

It’s also important to use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in this

manual.

The apparatus shall not be

exposed to dripping or splashing

and no objects filled with liquids,

such as vases, shall be placed on

the apparatus.

separate instruction manual that came with your satellite dish antenna.
