Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

This Signature 2.0 has been designed for use with
120-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other
than that for which it is intended can create a safety and
fire hazard, and may damage the unit.
If you have any questions about the voltage require-
ments for your specific model, or about the line voltage
in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging
the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
attached to your unit. We do not recommend that
extension cords be used with this product. As with all
electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs
or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged
power cords should be replaced immediately with cords
meeting factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet,
always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not
intend to use the unit for any considerable length of
time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open The Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside this
product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock
hazard, and any modification to the product will void
your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as
a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside
the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized service station.
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the

within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CATV or Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with
respect 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 of the grounding electrode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV)
system installer's attention to article 820-40 of the NEC
that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Installation Location
To assure proper operation, and to avoid the potential
for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level
surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain
that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support
the weight of the product.
Make certain that proper space is provided both above
and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will
be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make
certain that there is sufficient air movement within
the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan may
be required.
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations,
or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or
heating equipment.
Avoid moist or humid locations.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the
unit, or place objects directly over them.
