Introduction and Safety Information
Do Not Open The Cabinet
There are no user serviceable compo-
nents inside this product. Opening the
cabinet may present a shock hazard, and
any modification to the product will void
your guarantee. If water or any metal
object such as a paper clip, wire or a sta-
ple accidentally falls inside the unit, dis-
connect it from the AC power source
immediately, and consult an authorized
service center.
CATV or Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to this product, be certain that
it is grounded so as to provide some pro-
tection against voltage surges and static
charges. Section 810-B of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1996,
provides information with respect to prop-
er grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of anten-
na discharge unit, connection to ground-
ing electrodes and requirements of the
grounding electrode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the
CATV (Cable TV) system installer’s atten-
tion to article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the ground-
ing system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as possible.
Installation Location
■
To assure proper operation, and to
avoid the potential for safety hazards,

■
Make certain that proper space is pro-
vided both above and below the unit

enclosed area, make certain that there
is sufficient air movement within the
cabinet. Under some circumstances a
fan may be required.

carpeted surface.
■
Avoid installation in extremely hot or
cold locations, or an area that is
exposed to direct sunlight or heating
equipment.
■
Avoid moist or humid locations.
■
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots
on the top of the unit, or place objects
directly over them.

clean, soft dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it
with a soft cloth dampened with mild
soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean
water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry
cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alco-
hol or any other volatile cleaning agent.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may
damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid
spraying insecticide near the unit.

Before moving the unit, be certain to dis-
connect any interconnection cords with
other components, and make certain
that you disconnect the unit from the AC
outlet.
