PowerSourceWarning
A label on this product indicates the correct power source for this product. Operate this product only
from an electrical outlet with the voltage and frequency indicated on the product label. If you are
uncertain of the type of power supply to your home or business, consult your service provider or your
local power company.
The AC inlet on the unit must remain accessible and operable at all times.
Ground the Product
WARNING:
Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! 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.
If this product connects to coaxial cable wiring, be sure the cable system is grounded (earthed). Grounding provides
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Protect the Product from Lightning
For added protection, unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time. In addition to disconnecting the AC power from the wall outlet, disconnect the signal inputs.
Verify the Power Source from the On/Off Power Light
When the on/off power light is not illuminated, the apparatus may still be connected to the power
source. The light goes out when the apparatus is turned off, regardless of whether it is still plugged into
an AC power source.
EliminateAC MainsOverloads
WARNING:
Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not overload AC mains, outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles. For products that require battery power or
other power sources to operate them, refer to the operating instructions for those
products.
