Important safety instructions

Caution

Read and observe all warnings and instructions in this manual and those marked on your receiver. Retain this manual for future reference.

This receiver has been designed and manufactured to ensure personal safety. Improper use can result in electric shock or fire hazard. The safeguards incorporated in this receiver will protect you if you observe the following procedures for installation, use, and servicing. This receiver does not contain any parts that can be repaired by you.

Do not remove the cabinet cover or you may be exposed to dangerous voltage. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.

•All of these safety and operating instructions should be read before your receiver is operated.

•The safety, operation, and use instructions should be retained for future reference.

•All warnings on your receiver and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

•All operation and use instructions should be followed.

•Do not use this receiver near water. For example, do not use this receiver near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, and other areas located near water.

•Clean only with dry cloth. Unplug this receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.

•Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with these instructions. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of your receiver, and to protect it from over-heating. The openings should never be blocked by placing your receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This receiver should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless correct ventilation is provided or these instructions have been adhered to.

•Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other electronic devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

•Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

•Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from your receiver.

•Use only attachments or accessories specified by Insignia.

•Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

table specified by Insignia, or sold with this receiver. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/receiver combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

•If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your receiver, make sure that 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, 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.

•Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) aluminum,

No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

•Secure the antenna lead-in and ground wires to the house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meter) apart.

•Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in enters the house.

•Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See ANSI/NFPA70.

•Unplug this receiver during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
