 CAUTION

  

The lightning flash with arrowhead, 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.

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.

—

  All the safety and operating  

instructions should be read before the appliance is 
operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS  

—

    The safety and operating 

instructions should be retained for future reference.

—

  All warnings on the appliance and 

in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS   

—

  All operating and use 

instructions should be followed.

—

  The appliance should not 

be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, 
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet 
basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

LOCATION   

—

    The appliance should be installed in a 

stable location.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING   —  The appliance 

should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

VENTILATION  

—

  The appliance should be situated so 

that its location or position does not interfere with its 
proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should 
not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface 
that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in 
a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet 
that may impede the flow of air through the 
ventilation openings.

— 

The appliance should be situated away from 

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, 
or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce 
heat.

—

  The appliance should be 

connected to a power supply only of the type 
described in the operating instructions or as marked 
on the appliance.

—

    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. Pay particular attention to cords at 
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where 
they exit from the appliance.

POLARIZATION   

—

    If your purchased product  is  

provided with a polarized power plug, please read the 
following instructions. This product is equipped with 
a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having 
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit 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 fit, contact your electrician to replace your 
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of 
the polarized plug.

CLEANING   

—

    The appliance should be cleaned only  

with a polishing cloth or a soft dry cloth. Never clean 
with furniture wax, benzine, insecticides or other 
volatile liquids since they may corrode the cabinet.

—

    An outdoor antenna should be 

located away from power lines.

NONUSE PERIODS  

—

  The power cord of the appliance 

should be unplugged from the outlet when left 
unused for a long period of time.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY  

—

  Care should be taken 

so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled 
into the enclosure through openings.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE  

—

    The appliance 

should be serviced by a Pioneer authorized service 
center or qualified service personnel when:
The  power–supply cord or the plug has been 
damaged.

•   

Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the 
appliance.

•

    The appliance has been exposed to rain.

•

    The appliance does not appear to operate normally or 

exhibits a marked change in performance.

•

    The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure 

damaged.

SERVICING  

—

  The user should not attempt to service 

the appliance beyond that described in the operating 
instructions. All other servicing should be referred to 
qualified service personnel.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  

—

  If an outside 

antenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be 
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to 
provide some protection against voltage surges and 
built-up static charges.
In the U.S.A. section 810 of the National Electrical 
Code, ANSI/NFPA 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. See Fig. A.

CART  

—

  An appliance and cart combination should be 

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and 
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart 
combination to overturn.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the
point of cable entry as practical.

Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment.
