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 pres-

ence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature

accompanying the appliance.

WARNING :

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARDS, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN

OR MOISTURE.

NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER:

This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of

the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and,

in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of

the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

REGULATORY INFORMATION:

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 reason-

able protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential

ple, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or

laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swim-

ming pool.

7. Accessories

Do not place this product on an unstable cart,

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 rec-

ommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the

product. Any mounting of the product should fol-

low the manufacturer’s instructions, and should

use a mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

8. Transporting Product

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.

9. Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by

the product manufacturer as they may cause

hazards.

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 cov-

ered. 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 book-

case or rack unless proper ventilation is provid-

ed 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 deal-

er or local power company. For products intend-

ed to operate from battery power, or other

way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to

insert the plug fully into the outlet, 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 par-

ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued from previous page)

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is con-

nected 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 (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 pro-

vides information with regard to proper ground-

ing of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-

charge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-

tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode.

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver)

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-

tended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the

antenna or cable system. This will prevent dam-

age to the product due to lightning and power-

line surges.

16. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be locat-

ed 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.

17. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords

as this can result in a risk of fire or electric

shock.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and

refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fall-

en 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 the cabi-

net has been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance.

21. 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.

22. 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.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceil-

ing only as recommended by the manufacturer.
