Please read all of these instructions and retain for future reference. Follow all warnings and instructions.

Do not use the Slingbox near water.

Do not place the product near heat sources such as direct sunlight, radiators, heat registers, or stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Do not block the ventilation holes on top of the Slingbox. The Slingbox requires adequate ventilation. Do not place the Slingbox in a cabinet or built-in installa- tion unless sufficient ventilation is provided. Do not place anything on top of the Slingbox, including another Slingbox.

Operate this product from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.

Route power cables so they are not likely to be walked on, rolled over, or pinched by items placed upon or against them, or otherwise subject to abuse, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

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.

Unplug the Slingbox before cleaning. Use only a cloth dampened with water to clean the Slingbox.

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the product.

Outdoor antenna grounding. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 1984, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis- charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
