IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued from previous page)

22.Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can come into contact with such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides 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.

Antenna Grounding According to NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70

26.Do not touch the ventilation openings, as they may become hot while the STB is operating.

27.If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the STB or hear strange sounds, unplug the power cord, and contact an authorized service center.

28.Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

23.Cleaning

When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray water or other liquids directly on the STB as electric shock may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such as alcohol, thinners or benzene.

24.Transporting Product

Make sure the STB is turned Off and unplugged and that all cables have been removed. Do not press against or put stress on the STB.

25.Ventilation

Install the STB where there is proper ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not cover the STB with cloth or other materials (e.g., plastic) while it is plugged in. Do not install in excessively dusty places.
