Important Safety Instructions

1. Read these instructions completely before using the equipment.
2. Keep these instructions in a safe place.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install the equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not attempt to circumvent the safety provisions of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade and the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the outlet.
10. Prevent the power cord from being tread upon or pinched, particularly at the plug, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the device. Be sure that the power outlet is located
near the equipment so that it is easily accessible.
11. Only use attachments/ accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/appa-
ratus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus when it will be unused for a long period of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the appara-
tus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or mois-
ture, or the unit does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

ANTENNAS

Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below.
Do not install the outdoor antenna system near of overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so that it can provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical
Code in Canada provides information with in 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, loca-
tion of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
