IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
20. Grounding
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to
prevent possible electric shock (i.e., an STB with a
three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected to a
three-prong grounded AC outlet). If grounding methods
are not possible, have a qualifi ed electrician install a
separate circuit breaker. Do not try to ground the unit
by connecting it to telephone wires, lightening rods, or
gas pipes.
21. Disconnect Device
The mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug
must remain readily operable.
As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet,
it is not disconnected from the AC power source even
if you turn off this unit by SWITCH.
22. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, 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 into contact with
such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury
can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
the U.S.A. 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 elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Antenna Grounding According to NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70
23. Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and rub gently
with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray
water or other liquids directly on the STB as electric
shock may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such as
alcohol, thinners, or benzene.
24. Transporting Product
Make sure the product is turned Off and unplugged
and that all cables have been removed. Do not press
against or put stress on the STB.
25. Ventilation
Install the STB where there is proper ventilation. Do
not install in a confi ned space such as a bookcase.
Do not cover the product with cloth or other materials
(e.g., plastic) while it is plugged in. Do not install in
excessively dusty places.
26. Do not touch the ventilation openings, as they may
become hot while the STB is operating.
27. If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the
STB or hear strange sounds, unplug the power cord,
and contact an authorized service center.
28. Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
