Important Safeguards
Do not use this product near water
Do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature
to high temperature environment, as this causes
condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
This product should not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be
placed on the product.
Entering of objects and liquids
Never insert an object into the product through vents or
openings. High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an
object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts.
For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the
product.
Lightning
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
For added protection during a lightning storm, or when left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the
product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This
will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and
power-line surges.
Servicing
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the product 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.
Replacement parts
In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure the
service person uses replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and
performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts
can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
Attachments
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer. Do not use attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer. Use of improper attachments can result in
accidents.
If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet and request a qualified service person
to perform repairs.
a. The power cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid is spilled on the product or when objects have fallen
into the product.
c. The product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. The product does not operate properly as described in the
operating instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the
operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not
described in the instructions can cause damage, which
often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified
technician.
e. The product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged in any way.
f. The product displays an abnormal condition or exhibits a
distinct change in performance. Any noticeable abnormality
in the product indicates that the product needs servicing.
Damage requiring service
Safety checks
Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service
technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product
is in proper operating condition.
Wall or ceiling mounting
When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to
install the product according to the method recommended by
the manufacturer. This is a safety feature.
Panel protection
The panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it

this does not affect the performance of your product.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such
power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and
Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada
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.
