Safety
19. Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the
objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could
cause fire or electrical shock.
20. Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take
extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with
them can be fatal.
21. Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the Limited
Warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
22. Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
23. Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper
ventilation.
24. Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less
than 40°F or more than 113°F. If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not
plug it in immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least
45 minutes before plugging it in.
25. Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection.
During an electrical storm or when the receiver is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet,
disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect
the telephone line. These actions provide additional protection against
damage caused by lightning or power line surges.
26. Tighten all of the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a
wrench, you may overtighten the connections and damage your equipment.
CAUTION—To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or
larger telecommunication line cord.
Note to Satellite TV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the
satellite TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) that 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 cable entry as practical.
