WARNING: Important Safeguards

¼
Read Instructions All the safety and operating instructions should be
read before the unit is operated.
¼
Retain Instructions The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
¼
Heed Warnings All warnings on the unit and in the operating instruc-
tions should be adhered to.
¼
Follow Instructions All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
¼
Cleaning Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. The unit
should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
¼
Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended by the unit
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
¼
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.
¼
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 accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
¼
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 installation 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.
¼
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.
¼
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 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 a licensed
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.
¼
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.
¼
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-discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
¼
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.
¼
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.
¼
Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
¼
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 that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the unit.
¼
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.
¼
Damage Requiring Service Unplug the unit from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified 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 in-
»
structions. 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 unit to its normal operation,
If the Model 975 has been dropped or damaged in any way, the unit
»
should be examined by qualified service personnel.
When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance–this indicates
»
a need for service.
¼
Wall or Ceiling Mounting The unit should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
¼
Heat The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE Before connecting a new component
such as the Model 975 to your audio or home theater system it is always
good practice to make certain that all components are turned off, 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 warranties and Outlaw Audio specifically disclaims
responsibility for any such damage.
