Water and Moisture—To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, these appliances should not be used near water––for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
Power Cord Protection—A.C.Power supply circuits should be routed by a certified electrician only, in accordance with
the NEC standards.
Telephones—Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of elec-
trical shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak if the leak is in the vicinity of the ELAN electronic equipment
because of risk of fire or explosion.
Cleaning—Turn off the circuit breaker to this audio product before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
Power Lines—An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to these audio products, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the U.S. National Electrical Code, and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, provide information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conduc-
tors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See the
grounding diagram (right).
Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this could result in fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry—Never insert objects of any kind
through the openings of these appliances, as they may touch dangerous volt-
age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Care
should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the
appliance through openings in the enclosure.
Servicing—Do not attempt to service these appliances yourself, as open-
ing or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other haz-
ards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service—These appliances should be ser-
viced by qualified service personnel when:
• A power supply connection or a plug has been damaged or
• If liquid has been spilled into the appliance or objects have fallen into
the appliance or
• The appliance has been exposed to water or moisture or
• The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance or
• The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards. The Master Control Unit battery should be replaced only after turning the power off and only by an
authorized installer.
Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to this audio product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the audio product is in proper operating condition.
Lightning—For added protection for these audio products during an electrical storm, or when they are left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the audio products due to lightning and power-line surges.
