IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued from previous page)

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is con-

nected 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 (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 pro-

vides information with regard to proper ground-

ing of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-

charge unit, size of grounding conductors, loca-

tion of antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode.

15. Lightning

For added protection for this product (receiver)

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-

tended and unused for long periods of time,

unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the

antenna or cable system. This will prevent dam-

age to the product due to lightning and power-

line surges.

16. Power Lines

An outside antenna system should not be locat-

ed 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.

17. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords

as this can result in a risk of fire or electric

shock.

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. Damage Requiring Service

Unplug this product from the wall outlet and

refer servicing to qualified service personnel

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fall-

en 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

require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabi-

net has been damaged.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance.

21. 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.
