IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY 

INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But improper 
use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. This 
product has been engineered and manufactured to assure your 
personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in safeguards, 
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and 
servicing.

ATTENTION:

Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your 
product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please read 
all the safety and operating instructions before you operate this 
product and keep this booklet for future reference.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(A) Your 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.

(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type 

plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only 
fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your 
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the 
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

2. Power Sources

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 supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local 
power company. If your product is intended to operate from 
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral 
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or 
electric shock.

4. 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.

5. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To 
ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from 
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.

Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, 
sofa, rug or other similar surface.

Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a 
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the 
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as 
recommended by the manufacturer.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. 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 connectors, location of 
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and 
requirements for the grounding electrode.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a 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.

3. 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.
