Safety Information
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or staple accidentally falls inside the unit, dis- connect it from the AC power source immedi- ately and consult an authorized service station.
CATV or Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is con- nected to this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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 of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding elec- trodes and requirements of the grounding elec- trode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable TV) system installer’s attention to article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the ground- ing system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.
Installation Location
■To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.
■Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventila- tion. If this product will be installed in a cab- inet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan may be required.
■Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
■Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.
■Avoid moist or humid locations.
■Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit or place objects directly over them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immedi- ately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, be certain to discon- nect any interconnection cords with other com- ponents and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.
Important Information for the User NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class-B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. The limits are designed to provide rea- sonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment gen- erates, uses and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor- dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However, there is no guarantee that harmful interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interfer- ence to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
■Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
■Increase the separation between the equip- ment and receiver.
■Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
■Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harm- ful interference and (2) this device must accept interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: Changes or modifications may cause this unit to fail to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to pro- tect your new receiver during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move, or should the unit ever need repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is done by care- fully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton down to a more two- dimensional appearance. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging mate- rials, please note that the carton and other sec- tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
