Important Safety Instructions - Infinity HTS-20 Owner's Manual

1) Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.
2) Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
3) Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the operating instruc-
tions should be adhered to.
4) Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
5) Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Exception: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and that for some
specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for
a CATV Converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning
or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the product in
the cleaning description otherwise required in number 5.
6) Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7) Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;
or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8) Accessories – Do not place this product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
product may 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 recommended by the man-
ufacturer, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9) A product and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stop, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10) Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila-
tion and to ensure reliable operation of the product 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 product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manu-
facturer'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 dealer or local power com-
pany. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
12) Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polar-
ized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, 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 particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the product.
14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected 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, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides infor-
mation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size for grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

15) Lightning – For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
16) 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 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, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles 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 prod-
uct 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 condi-
tions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen 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 instruc-
tions. 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 damaged in any way.
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates
a need for service.
21) 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 substitu-
tions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the prod-
uct is in proper operating condition.
