|
| |
13. | LIGHTNING |
| |
| To protect your unit from 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 | ||
| unit due to lightning and power line surges. |
| |
14. | 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 onto or against 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. |
| |
15. | OVERLOADING |
| |
| Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. | ||
16. | OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY |
| |
| Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short | ||
| out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit. | ||
17. | OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING |
| |
| If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is | ||
| grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and | ||
| National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the | ||
| mast and supporting structure, grounding of the | ||
| conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for | ||
| the grounding electrode. |
| |
18. | SERVICING |
| |
| Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous | ||
| voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. |

| For example: |
| |
| a. When the |
| |
| b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit. |
| |
| c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water. |
| |
| d. If the unit 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 | |
|
| unit to its normal operation. |
|
| e. | If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. |
|
| f. | When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service. | |
19. | REPLACEMENT PARTS |
| |
| When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by | ||
| the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. |
| |
| Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards. |
| |
20. | SAFETY CHECK |
| |
| Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to | ||
| determine that the unit is in proper operating condition. |

| The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other | ||
| products (including amplifiers) that produce heat. |
| |
22. | DISC TRAY |
| |
| Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury. | ||
23. | CONNECTING |
| |
| When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from | ||
| the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner's | ||
| manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections. | ||
24. | SOUND VOLUME |
| |
| Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume | ||
| sound may cause hearing or speaker damage. |
| |
25. | SOUND DISTORTION |
| |
| Do not allow the product output distorted sound for a longtime. It may cause speaker overheating and fire. | ||
26. | HEADPHONES |
