IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal safety.
However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating
instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special
note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.
1. Water and Moisture - The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
2. Ventilation - The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings.
Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of
air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat - The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Power Sources - The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.
5. Power-Cable Protection - Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cable exits the
unit to where it is plugged into an AC socket.
6. Cleaning - The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the Maintenance section of this manual for
cleaning instructions.

9. Lightning and Power Surge Protection - Unplug the unit from the wall socket and disconnect the antenna or
cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

in a risk of fire or electric shock.

A. the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.

E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.
12. Antenna - Do not connect an external antenna to the unit (other than that provided).
13. Periods of Nonuse - If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a month or longer, the
power cable should be unplugged from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion.
14. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described in the user’s operating
instructions. Service methods not covered in the operating instructions should be referred to qualified service
personnel.
