WARNING: Important Safeguards
Read Instructions All the safety and operating instructions should be
read before the unit is operated.
Retain Instructions The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
Heed Warnings All warnings on the unit and in the operating instruc-
tions should be adhered to.
Follow Instructions All operating and use instructions should be fol-
lowed.
Cleaning Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. The unit
should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended by the unit
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Water and Moisture Do not use the unit near water–for example, near a
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or
near a swimming pool.
Accessories Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the unit. Any mounting of the unit should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting acces-
sory recommended by the manufacturer.
Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila-
tion and to ensure reliable operation of the unit and to protect it from
over- heating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. The unit should not be placed in a built-in installa-
tion such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided.
There should be free space of at least 16 cm (6 in.) and an opening behind
the unit.
Power Sources The unit 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 supplied to your home, consult your unit dealer or local power
company.
Grounding or Polarization The unit may be equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will t into a power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try revers-
ing the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, contact a licensed electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
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 particular attention to cords where they enter a
plug, or a convenience receptacle, and the point where they exit from
the unit.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the unit, 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, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
Lightning For added protection for the unit during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located 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 out-
side antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into the unit
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-
out parts taht could result in a re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of
any kind on the unit.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover.
No user serviceable parts inside. Refer to quali ed personnel
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this
appliance to rain or moisture.
The lightning ash with arrowhead, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-
insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of su cient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electical shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important op-
erating maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
Servicing Do not attempt to service the unit yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
Outlaw Audio.
Damage Requiring Service Unplug the unit from
the wall outlet and refer servicing to quali ed service
personnel under the following conditions:
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,•
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen •
into the unit,
If the unit has been exposed to rain or water,•
If the unit does not operate normally by following •
the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instruc-
tions as an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a quali ed technician to restore
the unit to its normal operation,
If the Model 976 has been dropped or damaged in •
any way, the unit should be examined by quali ed
service personnel.
When the unit exhibits a distinct •
change in performance–this indicates
a need for service.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting The unit should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
Heat The unit should be situated away
from heat sources such as produce heat.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE Before connecting a new
component such as the Model 976 to your audio or
home theater system it is always good practice to make
certain that all components are turned o , and preferably
unplugged from their AC power source. Many modern
electronics products feature automatic turn-on circuits
that may be activated during an installation, causing the
potential for damage to electronic components and/or
speakers. Such damage is not covered by product warran-
ties and Outlaw Audio speci cally disclaims responsibility
for any such damage.
