A275 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Cleaning—Unplug the apparatus from the power outlet before cleaning. Use only a dry cloth to clean the apparatus.

Power Lines—An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or cable system

is connected to these audio products, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charg-

es. Section 810 of the U.S. National Electrical Code, and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, provide 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 electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See the grounding diagram (right).

Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this could result in fire or electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry—Never insert objects of any kind through the openings of these appliances, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Care should be taken so that

objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the appliance through openings in the enclosure.

A power supply connection or a plug has been damaged or

If liquid has been spilled into the appliance or objects have fallen into the appliance or

The appliance has been exposed to water or moisture or

The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance or

The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. The Master Control Unit battery should be replaced only after turning the power off and only by an authorized installer.

Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to this audio product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the audio product is in proper operating condition.
