RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

1.Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.

2.Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3.Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5.Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6.Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8.Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should

follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. A product and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10.Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11.Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12.Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13.Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded

so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static

charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

provides information with regard 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 Figure A.

16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,

or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it

from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will

prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or

where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an

outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from

touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19. Object and Liquid Entry – 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.

20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or

removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and

refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following

conditions:

a)

When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

b)

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

c)

If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

 

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the

 

operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may

 

result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

 

technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

e)

If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f)

When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this

 

indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the
