MDS-6AINSTALLATION MANUAL
Power Cord Protection—A.C.Power supply circuits should be routed by a certified electrician only, in accordance with the NEC stan- dards.
Telephones—Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak if the leak is in the vicinity of the Channel Plus electronic equipment because of risk of fire or explosion.
Cleaning—Turn off the circuit breaker to this audio product before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for clean- ing.
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 charges. Section 810 of the U.S. National Electrical Code, and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, provide information with

Damage Requiring Service—These appliances should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
•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 haz- ards.
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.
Lightning—For added protection for these audio products during an electrical storm, or when they are left unattended and unused for long periods of time, turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the audio products due to lightning and power-line surges.
