18.An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over- head power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or cir- cuits. 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.

Passive Products:

20.Amplifiers: Amplifiers used to drive these units must deliver a suffi- cient output power. A lack of output power may lead to amplifier-clipping, which causes damage not covered by guarantee.

Active (Powered) Products:

21.Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila- tion 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 book- case or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to. Make certain that the proper space (more than 10cm) is provided both above and below the unit for ventila- tion. If the amplifier will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet, with means provided for hot air to exit and for cool air to be brought in.

Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit or place objects directly over them. Remember, power amplifiers generate heat, and the heatsink fins and ventilation slots that form part of the cabinet are specially designed to remove this heat. Placing other electronic equipment near these heat-dissipation systems may possibly affect the long term reliabil- ity of both your amplifier and the objects placed above it. Do not place CDs, record jackets, owner’s manuals or other paper on top of or beneath the unit or in between products con- taining amplifiers in a stack. This will block the air flow, causing degraded performance and a possible fire haz- ard.

22.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.

23.Grounding or Polarization. This

product may be equipped with a polar- ized 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.

24.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 atten- tion to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied with your unit. If a replacement cord is used, make cer- tain that it is of a similar gauge. We do not recommend using extension cords with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on power cords. Dam- aged power cords should be replaced immediately, by a qualified service technician, with cords meeting fac- tory specifications. When discon- necting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug; never pull the cord.

25.Non-use Periods. The power cord of the product should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for long periods of time.

26.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 dis- connect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the prod- uct due to lightning and power-line surges.

27.Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

28.Damage Requiring Service. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing cov- ers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service person- nel under the following conditions:

a. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

b. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into, the product; or

c. The product has been exposed to rain or water; or

d. The product does not operate nor- mally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those con- trols that are covered by the oper- ating 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; or

e. The product has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged; or

f. The product does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

29.Object and Liquid Entry. Never push objects of any kind into this prod- uct 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. The appa- ratus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

30.Heat. The product should be situ- ated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, in an area that is exposed to direct sun- light or near heating equipment. When positioning the product in its final location, make certain that it has adequate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom.
