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

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.
7. Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and
liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents located on the product.
8. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer.
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.
10. Overloading – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
