This reminder is provided to call Cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code 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 practical.

Note to Satellite Dish installer:

This reminder is provided to call your attention to articles 810 and 820 of the 1999 National Electrical Code. Refer to article 810, in particular to 810-1 and 810-15, for required grounding of the metal structure of the Dish Antenna. Refer also to the 810-2 which, by reference to article 820, requires that the satellite dish coaxial cable shield be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

This device complies with part 15 of FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2)This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This satellite receiver provides display of television closed captioning in accordance with §15.119 of the FCC rules.

Care and Cleaning:

Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner to dust your HD Receiver. Remove dust from the ventilation holes on the top and bottom.

Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. A non-abrasive, anti-static cleaner/polisher is recommended.

Always be careful when using this product. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your HD Receiver.
