IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Notice to Installers
The servicing instructions in this notice are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the

8)
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9)
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

14)
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a 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.
Power Source Warning
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! 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.
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not locate an outside antenna
system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or power circuits. Touching power lines
or circuits might be fatal.
This product may contain a tuner capable of receiving off-the-air broadcasts.
Protect the Product from Lightning
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 may go out when the apparatus is turned off, regardless of whether it is still plugged
into an AC power source.
Eliminate AC Mains Overloads
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.
