SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appara-
tus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar-
ized 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 or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an elec-
trician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked
on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
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/apparatus combi-
nation to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of
time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus 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 appa-
ratus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Do not use attachments not recommended
by the product manufacturer, as they may cause
hazards.
16. This product should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the mark-
ing label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your product dealer
or local power company. For products intended
to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
17. If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected 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 of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See Figure A.
18. 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.
19. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles, as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
20. Never push objects of any kind into this
product 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.
21. The apparatus shall not be exposed to drip-
ping or splashing, and no objects filled with liq-
uids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
22. Do not attempt to service this product your-
self, as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
23. 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 substitutions may result in fire, elec-
tric shock or other hazards.
24. Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to per-
form safety checks to determine that the product
is in proper operating condition.
25. The product should be mounted to a wall
or ceiling only as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
