Important Safety Precautions!
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings.
Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding-type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories
specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket or table specified by the
manufacturer or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Do not use attachments not recommended
by the product manufacturer, as they may
cause hazards.
16. 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.
17. 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 to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
See Figure A.
18. 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.
19. Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles,
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
20. Never push objects of any kind into this
product through openings, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts,
which could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
21. The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing, and no objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed
on the apparatus.
22. 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.
23. 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 part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
24. 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 operating condition.
25. The product should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by
the manufacturer.
