Place the unit on a fixed, level surface strong enough to support its weight. 

Do not place it on a moveable cart that could tip over.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing 

to qualified service personnel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, be sure that the 

apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no 

objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. 

Do not use this product in an environment where the relative humidity 

may exceed 95% (non-condensing).
Do not allow foreign objects to get into the enclosure. If the unit is exposed 

to moisture, or a foreign object gets into the enclosure, immediately 

disconnect the power cord from the wall. Take the unit to a qualified 

service person for inspection and necessary repairs.

Read all the instructions before connecting or operating the component. Keep this manual 

so you can refer to these safety instructions.
Heed all warnings and safety information in these instructions and on the product itself. 

Follow all operating instructions.
Unplug this device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean the enclosure only with a 

dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner. 

Note:

 A product that is meant for uninterrupted service 

and for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code 

for a cable TV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any 

other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging this device.

You must allow 10 cm or 4 inches of unobstructed clearance around 

the unit.

 Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that could block 

the ventilation slots. If the component is placed in a bookcase or cabinet, there must be 

ventilation of the cabinet to allow proper cooling. 
Keep the component away from radiators, heat registers, stoves, or any other appliance 

that produces heat.
The unit must be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage specified 

on the rear panel of the unit. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the ground pin 

of the AC plug.
Connect the component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable 

or an exact equivalent. Do not modify the supplied cable in any way. Do not attempt to 

defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. Do not use extension cords. 
Do not route the power cord where it will be crushed, pinched, bent at severe angles, 

exposed to heat, or damaged in any way. Pay particular attention to the power cord 

at the plug and where it exits the back of the unit. After connecting other devices to this 

device, do not push the rear of the device up against any surface (wall or shelving unit), 

as this may create an undesired bend in the power cords which may break the wire 

strands of the cord.
Although this device provides protection against electrical surges, when connecting an 

outside antenna or cable system to devices connected to this device, ensure the antenna 

or cable system is grounded so as to provide additional protection against voltage 

surges and static charges in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, 

ANSI/NFPA No.70 (see illustration).
This device provides a grounding lug at the rear panel for grounding the device to an 

external Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) device. Ensure this connection is 

made in accordance with the instructions provided by the TVSS device.
This device employs Metal Oxide Varisters (MOVs), and other circuitry to protect against 

lightning and other sources of voltage surges and sags. It is not necessary to turn this 

device or the devices connected to this device, off during a lighting storm.
Do not locate outside antenna systems near overhead power lines, or other electric light 

or power circuits, or where it may fall or otherwise come in contact with these power 

sources. Do not allow the ladder being used, or the antenna itself to come into contact 

with these power sources, as such contact may be fatal.
Do not overload the wall outlet where this device is being connected. Do not overload 

this device. Ensure the total load to this device does not exceed that which is listed in the 

Specifications section of this manual.
Inspect the line cords. telephone/data cords, or DSS/Cable TV coaxial cables connected 

to this device to ensure they remain fully pushed in or attached, and that they are not 

frayed or otherwise damaged.
Immediately stop using the component and have it inspected and/or serviced by a 

qualified service agency if:
•  The power supply cord or plug has been damaged. 

•  Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the unit. 

•  The unit has been exposed to rain. 

•  The unit shows signs of improper operation 

•  The unit has been dropped or damaged in any way
