Important Safeguards
1.Read, Follow, and Retain Instructions - All safety and operating instructions should be read and followed before operating the unit. Retain instructions for future reference.
2.Heed Warnings - Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
3.Attachments - Attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer should not be used, as they may cause hazards.
4.Installation Cautions - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand, tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious damage to the unit. Use only manufacturer- recommended accessories, or those sold with the product. Mount the unit per the manufacturer's instructions. Appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, or uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
5.Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Follow any instructions provided with the unit. Generally, using a damp cloth for cleaning is sufficient. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6.Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
7.Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the main AC power source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
•If liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen into the unit.
•If the unit has been exposed to water and/or inclement weather (rain, snow, etc.).
•If the unit does not operate normally, when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls specified in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
•If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
•If the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates that service is needed.
8.Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, the service technician should use replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
9.Safety Check - Upon completion of servicing or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure proper operating condition.
10.Power Sources - Operate the unit only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If unsure of the type of power supply to use, contact your dealer or local power company.
•For units intended to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
•For units intended to operate with External Power Supplies, use only the recommended approved power supplies.
•For units intended to operate with a limited power source, this power source must comply with EN60950. Substitutions may damage the unit or cause fire or shock.
•For units intended to operate at 24VAC, normal input voltage is 24VAC. Voltage applied to the unit's power input should not exceed 30VAC. User-supplied wiring, from the 24VAC supply to unit, must be in compliance with electrical codes (Class 2 power levels). Do not ground the 24VAC supply at the terminals or at the unit's power supply terminals.
11.Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected to the unit, ensure that the cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only - Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides information regarding proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
12.Grounding - This unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding plug (a plug with a third pin, for grounding). This safety feature allows the plug to fit into a grounding power outlet only. If unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to arrange replacement of the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
•Outdoor equipment should only be connected to the unit's inputs after this unit has had its grounding plug connected to a grounded outlet or its ground terminal properly connected to a ground source.
•The unit's input connectors must be disconnected from outdoor equipment before disconnecting the grounding plug or grounding terminal.
•Proper safety precautions such as grounding should be followed for any outdoor device connected to this unit.
13.Lightning - For added protection during a lightning storm, or when this unit is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.
