NTRODUCTION
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the apparatus is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the apparatus and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. CLEANING - Unplug this apparatus from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: An apparatus that is meant for uninterrupted service
and, that for some speci c reason, such as the possibility of the loss
of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to
be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may
exclude the reference to unplugging the apparatus in the cleaning
description otherwise required in item 5.
6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by
the apparatus manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this apparatus near water,
for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this apparatus
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The apparatus may fall, causing serious
injury to someone, and serious damage to
the apparatus. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
Any mounting of the apparatus should follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
An apparatus and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
apparatus and cart combination to overturn.
AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé que sur un meuble
(avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’
installez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux ensembles
avec précaution. Un arrêt brusque, l’utilisation d’une force
excessive et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’
ensemble et de le renverser.
9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back
or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the apparatus and to protect it from overheating,
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the apparatus on a bed, sofa,
carpet, rug, or other similar surface. This apparatus should never
be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This apparatus
should not be placed 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.
10. POWER SOURCES - This apparatus 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 apparatus dealer or local power company. For apparatuses
intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This apparatus is equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will t 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 t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. 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 apparatus.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the apparatus, 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 No. 70, provides information
with respect 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. (Fig. A)
14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this apparatus 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
apparatus due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of
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.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.

The caution marking is located on the rear or bottom of the cabinet.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the apparatus.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
