IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this appliance to rain or moisture.

En

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before

operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for
future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating
Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as
the safety suggestions below.

Warning
To prevent electric shock or injury, these safety instructions should
be followed in the installation, use and servicing the unit.

Installation

Explanation of Graphical Symbols:

The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol, within an equilateral triangle,
is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous
voltage within the products enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.

Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the

unit manufacturer as they may result in the risk of fire, electric shock
or injury to persons.
Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water - for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating
vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should
not be placed in temperatures less than 5C (41F) or greater than
35C (95F ).
Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the unit. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the manufacturers instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
Portable cart - An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.

Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space

around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm
clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm from the
each side.
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the unit
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This
unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase
unless proper ventilation is provided.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into
this unit through the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-circuit parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

Electric Power
Power Sources - This unit 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 appliance
dealer or local power company. To operate unit on battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a polarized
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.
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 attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Outdoor Antenna

Lightning

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 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.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system
is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.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.
See the figure.

For added protection for this unit receiver 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 the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and
powerline surges.

Maintenance
Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.

Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
1) When the power cord or plug is damaged.
2) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
4) If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.
5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
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.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock
or other hazards.
Safety Check - Upon the 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.
