When  used  in  the  directed  manner,  this  unit  has  been  designed  and  manufactured  to  ensure  your 

personal safety.  However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please 

read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these instructions 

handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.

1.    Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, 

washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement. 

2.    Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with 

its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface 

that may block ventilation openings.  Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as 

a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

3.    Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, 

stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4.    Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described 

in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

5.    Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely to 

be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.  It is always best to have a clear 

area from where the cable exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC socket.

6.    Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended.  See the Maintenance section of 

this manual for cleaning instructions.

7.   Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not 

spilled into any openings or vents located on the product.

8.   Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.

9.   Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall socket and disconnect 

the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for 

long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line 

surges.

10.  Overloading – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles 

as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

11.  Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

 

 A.  the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.

 

 B.  objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.

 

 C.  the unit has been exposed to rain.

 

 D.  the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

 

 E.  the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.

12.  Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a 

month  or  longer,  the  power  cable  should  be  unplugged  from  the  unit  to  prevent  damage  or  

corrosion.

13.  Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described in 

the user’s operating instructions.  Service methods not covered in the operating instructions should 

be referred to qualified service personnel.

•  Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat.
•  Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish. A cloth or other 

protective material should be placed between it and the furniture.

•  Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning agents, such 

as Benzene, thinner or similar materials can damage the surface of the unit.
