PROTECTIVE ATTACHMENT PLUG

The product is equipped with an attachment plug having overload protection. This is a safety feature. See user manual for replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by Oregon Scientific that has the same overload protection as the original plug.

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.

LIGHTNING

For added protection for the system 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 any cables. This will prevent damage to the system due to lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES

An outside antenna system should not be located near any overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or when 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.

OVERLOADING

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

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Never push objects of any kind into this product through the openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Do no attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Unplug the system from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When the power-supply cord, plug or cables have been damaged.

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

•If the system has been exposed to rain or water.

2

•If the system 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.

•If the system has been dropped or damaged in any way.

•When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

When parts need replacing, ensure the authorized service center uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK

After repairs or service, ask the authorized service center to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition (if you have the product serviced, remember to bring the entire system so the authorized service center may have access to all the necessary components in the system).

WALL MOUNTING

The product should be mounted to a wall only as recommended by Oregon Scientific.

MAINTENANCE

•Do not subject the product to extreme impact, shock or fluctuations in humidity.

•Do not make any changes or modifications to the product. Unauthorized changes may void your right to use the product and invalidate the warranty.

•Do not tamper with internal components or attempt to service the product yourself. If any electronic circuitry is exposed, do not, under any circumstances, touch the circuitry as there is a danger of electric shock.

•The unit should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the unit.

•Do not scratch hard objects against the LCD as the surface can be easily damaged. Take special care when handling a damaged LCD, as the liquid crystals can be harmful to your health.

•Do not use or store the unit in locations that may adversely affect the product such as rain, snow, moisture, dust or desert. Keep your player in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent it from molding.

•Do not place this unit in direct sunlight for long periods. This may deform or discolour the cabinet and may cause malfunction.

•Keep this unit away from strong magnetic fields. Exposure to magnetic fields may cause a loss to the wireless signal reception or even damage the unit's internal circuitry.
