Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your product. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other
injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
•
•
•
•
•
Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your product.
Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
Heed all warnings on the product receiver and in the operating instructions.
Follow all operating and use instructions.
Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
•
•
•
Never add any attachments and/ or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such addi-
tions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
Do not use the product where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near
bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table where it can fall. A falling product can cause serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufac-
turer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer. Move the product and cart with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and
cart unsteady and likely to overturn.
•
Provide ventilation for the product. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to
protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat reg-
ister. If you place the product on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation
and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.
•
•
Operate your product only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company.
Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this product is equipped with a polar-
ized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

•
•
Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or
pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
Unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a
lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed 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, be extremely careful to keep from
touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
•
•
•
Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric
shock.
Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage
points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna is con-
nected to the product, be sure the antenna is grounded so

•
Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
- if the product has been exposed to rain or water
- if the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- if the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance
•
•
•
If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal.
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 additional damage to the unit.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the product is in a safe operating condition.
