reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for the CATV converter, 

is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may 

exclude the reference to unplugging the product in the cleaning description otherwise in

6)  Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer 

as they may cause hazards.

wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; 

and the like.

8)  Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or 

table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage 

to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the 

manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the 

manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the 

manufacturer.

9)  A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stop, excessive force, 

and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10)  Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure 

reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings 

must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the 

product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in 

a build-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or 

the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11)  Power Sources – This product 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 product dealer or local power company. For products intended to 

operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12)  Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped 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.

13)  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.

14)  Protective Attachment Plug – The product is equipped with an attachment plug having 

overload protection. This is a safety feature. See Instruction 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 the manufacturer that has the same 

overload protection as the original plug.

15)   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 of 

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

16)  Lightning – For added protection this product during 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 product due to 

lightning and power-line surges.

17)  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.

18)  Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience 

receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19)  Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through 

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result 

in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

20)  Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing 

covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to 

qualified service personnel.

21)   Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing 

to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

 

  a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

 

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

 

  c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

 

  d. If the product 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.

 

  e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

 

  f.  When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a  

 

    need for service.

22)  Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service 

technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same 

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric 

shock, or other hazards.

23)  Safety Check – 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 proper operation 

condition.

24)  Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as 

recommended by the manufacturer.

25  Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat 

registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
