Safety precautions (continued)  
FCC Warning  
This equipment may generate or use radio frequency  
energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may  
cause harmful interference unless the modifications are  
expressly approved in this instruction manual. The user  
could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an  
unauthorized change or modification is made.  
Ventilation — Do not block the ventilation openings on the  
back of the DT-7000S. Place the tuner at least 4 inches  
away from the wall. When placing the DT-7000S in a rack or  
built-in installation, take care to provide proper ventilation.  
Note  
Water & moisture — Do not use the DT-7000S near water;  
do not expose it to dripping or splashing liquids; do not  
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the  
tuner.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with  
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of  
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reason-  
able protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment may cause harmful interference  
to radio communications if it is not installed and used in  
accordance with these instructions. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio or television reception, which can be deter-  
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more  
of the following measures:  
Temperature — The DT-7000S may not work properly if  
used at extremely low, or freezing temperatures. The ideal  
ambient temperature is above 41°F (+5°C).  
Heat — Do not install the DT-7000S near heat sources  
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appli-  
ances that produce heat.  
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.  
Electric shock — Do not place objects or spill liquids into  
the ventilation openings. If a metal object comes into con-  
tact with the inside of the tuner, a dangerous electric  
shock may result. Never remove the enclosure. If internal  
parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock  
could occur.  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver  
Replacement parts — When replacement parts are required,  
be sure the service technician has used replacement  
parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same  
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substi-  
tutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.  
Lightning — Unplug the DT-7000S from the wall outlet and  
disconnect the antenna when it will be unused for a long  
period of time.  
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit differ-  
ent from that to which the receiver is connected  
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-  
cian for help  
Damage requiring service — The DT-7000S should be  
serviced by qualified service personnel when:  
Attachments  
Only use attachments specified by  
Cleaning the DT-7000S  
If the tuner becomes dirty, turn its power off and wipe it  
clean with a soft dry cloth.

Accessories — Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, or  
bracket recommended  
by Kenwood or sold with  
the DT-7000S. Do not  
place the tuner on an  
unstable cart, stand,  
tripod, bracket or table.  
When a cart is used,  
use caution when mov-  
• Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the tuner  
• The tuner has been exposed to rain or water  
Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or other  
volatile solvents to clean the tuner. These may cause  
damage or remove indicator characters.  
• The tuner does not appear to operate normally by  
following the instructions in this manual.  
Important Safeguards  
• The tuner has been dropped, or its chassis damaged.  
• The tuner exhibits a marked change in performance.  
Power Source — Connect the DT-7000S only to a 120V 60Hz  
AC power supply. If you are not sure of the type of power  
supply to your home, consult your local power company.  
Outdoor antenna grounding — If an outside antenna is con-  
nected to the DT-7000S, be sure the antenna system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against volt-  
age surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the  
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 provides informa-  
tion with respect to proper grounding of the mast and  
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an  
ing it to avoid tip-overs  
that can cause injuries.  
Power cord protection — Route the power cord so that it is  
not likely to be walked-on or pinched by items placed  
upon or against it.  
CAUTION Polarization — The DT-7000S is fitted with a  
polarized AC plug (having one blade wider than the other).

Finding a location for the optional Kenwood CX-SRH30 antenna  
Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites  
over the US, the best location for the  
antenna will depend on what part of the  
country you live in, the orientation of your  
home, and the locations of any obstruc-  
tions that could prevent the satellite sig-  
nal from reaching the antenna.  
Use this map as a general placement guideline—some experimentation may be needed to obtain  
the best reception in your particular situation. See pg. 12 Antenna Signal, for more information  
about using the antenna signal screen to aim the antenna.  
A.  
The best antenna location is  
on the roof, facing straight up  
(A, right).  
• The location of the “X” on the map  
must be visible to the antenna.  
The second best antenna  
location is on an outside wall  
(B – C, right).  
Use an appropriate wall, depending on  
where you live (refer to the map). The  
location of the “X” on the map must be  
visible to the antenna.  
• Mount the antenna facing as close to  
straight up as possible (B, right).  
• To minimize interference caused by  
roof extensions, mount the antenna as  
low on the wall as possible while avoid-  
ing other obstructions (C, right).  
B.  
C.  
The third best antenna loca-  
tion is at a window (D, right).  
Use an appropriate window, depending  
on where you live (refer to the map). The  
location of the “X” on the map must be  
visible to the antenna.

screens or tinting •objects in the window  
•nearby objects like trees, foliage or  
buildings.

Section 3 —  
Mount the antenna on a NORTHWEST or NORTH-

If the signal is blocked from getting to the  
antenna, the antenna must be relocated  
to a more appropriate window, an outside  
wall free of obstructions, or on the roof.
