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 is 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/acces-
sories 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 light-
ning 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, ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding con-
ductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
18. An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of over-
head 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 that 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 tech-
nician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or that
have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitu-
tions 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.

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 appliance.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not remove cover (or back).
No user-serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock,
do not use this (polarized) plug with
an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet
unless the blades can be fully inserted to
prevent blade exposure.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons.
