OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION

1SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against built up static

charges and voltage surges.

Section 810 of the National

NEC - NATIONAL

ELECTRICAL CODE

 

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the

Canadian Electrical Code) 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

Safeguards •

POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:

This plug will only fit into an outlet one way. If you cannot fully insert the plug, try reversing it. If it still will not fit, have an electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:

This plug will only fit into a three-hole grounding outlet. If necessary, have an electrician install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by tampering with the plug.

3 POWER CORD

Make sure power cords are routed so that they

are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll

over them, or be in the way of walking traffic.

If an extension cord is used, make sure it also

has either a polarized or grounded plug and that

the cords can be securely connected. Frayed

cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked

2KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS

An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.

USING THE VIDEO UNIT

If the unit has been in storage or moved to a new location, refer first to the INSTALLATION section of these safeguards.

1

KEEP THIS VIDEO UNIT AWAY FROM WATER OR

 

MOISTURE OF ANY KIND.

2

IF EQUIPMENT IS EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR

 

STRONG IMPACT, unplug the unit and have it inspected by

 

a qualified service technician before use.

Accessories • Head Cleaning •

wire insulation are hazardous and should be

replaced by a qualified service technician.

Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire

hazards and should be avoided.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat

generated during operation. If they are blocked,

heat build-up inside the unit can cause failures

that may result in a fire hazard or heat damage

to cassettes. For protection, follow these rules:

a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while

in use, or operate the unit when placed on a

bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.

b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book

case or rack, unless proper ventilation is

provided.

5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR

SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES

Do not place the unit over or near any kind of

heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside a

closed vehicle, etc.. Do not move the unit

suddenly between areas of extreme temperature

variation. If the unit is suddenly moved from a

cold place to a warm place, moisture may

condense in the unit and on the tape.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

• Do not place unsecured

equipment on a sloping

surface.

Do not place this unit on any

support that is not firm, level, and adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.

• An appliance and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance

 

During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or

 

before leaving the unit unused for extended periods of time,

 

disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as

 

the antenna and cable system.

4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN

 

Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT

 

 

OPERATE if liquid has been spilled into the unit.

 

 

Immediately unplug the unit, and have it inspected by a

 

 

service technician. Fire and shock hazards can result from

 

 

electrical shorts caused by liquid contact inside.

 

Never drop or push any object through openings in the

 

 

unit. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and

 

 

contact can cause electric shock or fire hazard.

 

Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set

 

 

as this may cause electrical interference. Keep all

 

 

magnets away from electronic equipment.

5

USING ACCESSORIES

 

Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to

 

avoid risk of fire, shock, or other hazards.

6

CLEANING THE UNIT

 

Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically

 

untreated cloth to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT

 

USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over-

 

spray, or seep into the unit and cause electrical shock. Any

 

substance such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the

 

cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas

 

may adversely affect internal parts.
