Safety Information

1.Read this manual - Read all of the safety and operating instructions before installing and operating this device.

2.Keep this manual - Retain this manual, and all of the safety information that came with this device.

3.Warnings - Comply with all warnings presented in this manual, as well as any found on the device.

4.Follow Instructions - Follow all operating and use instruction.

5.Cleaning - Unplug this device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning.

Note: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a cable TV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging this device.

6.Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near any source of water, or in an environment where the relative humidity may exceed 95% (non-condensing).

7.Placement - Do not install this device on any unsteady surface. Do not install this device on any heat source.

8, Ventilation - Do not install this device in an area where the vents provided for cooling purposes, may become obstructed.

9.Power - Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded AC power source. Further ensure the device is plugged into a source providing the required 120 Vac. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the ground pin of the AC plug.

10.Polarization - This device has a polarized AC line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will only fit into the wall outlet in one orientation. This is a safety feature. Do not remove the round grounding pin, or use an adapter that defeats this safety feature.

11.Power Cord - Ensure power cords are routed in a manner that will preclude them being pinched, frayed, or stepped on. After connecting other devices to this device, do not push the rear of the device up against any surface (wall or shelving unit), as this may create an undesired bend in the power cords which may break the wire strands of the cord.

12.Antenna Grounding - Although this device provides protection against electrical surges, when connecting an outside antenna or cable system to devices connected to this device, ensure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide additional protection against voltage surges and static charges in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70 (see illustration - next page).

13.Other Grounding - This device provides a grounding lug at the rear panel for grounding the device to an external Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) device. Ensure this connection is made in accordance with the instructions provided by the TVSS device.

14.Lightning - This device employs Metal Oxide Varisters (MOVs), and other circuitry to protect against lightning and other sources of voltage surges and sags. It is not necessary to turn this device or the devices connected to this device, off during a lighting storm.

15.Power Lines - Do not locate outside antenna systems near overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits, or where it may fall or otherwise come in contact with these power sources. Do not allow the ladder being used, or the antenna itself to come into contact with these power sources, and such contact may be fatal.
