Preface XM-R3 Satellite Audio Receiver
Water and Moisture—
To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, these appliances 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.
Power Cord Protection—
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Telephones—
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electrical shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak if the leak is in the vicinity of the ELAN electronic equip-
ment because of risk of fire or explosion.
Cleaning—
Unplug the apparatus from the power outlet before cleaning. Use only a dry cloth to clean the apparatus.
Power Lines—
An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding—
If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected to these audio products, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the U.S. National Electrical Code, and Section 54 of the
Canadian Electrical Code, provide information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-
nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
the grounding diagram (right).
Overloading—
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this could
result in fire or electric shock. Object and Liquid Entry—Never insert objects of any
kind through the openings of these appliances, as they may touch dangerous volt-
age points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Care should
be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the appliance
through openings in the enclosure.
Servicing—Do not attempt to service these appliances yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt-
age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service—These appliances should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
• A power supply connection or a plug has been damaged or
• If liquid has been spilled into the appliance or objects have fallen into the appliance or
• The appliance has been exposed to water or moisture or
• The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance or
• The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
Replacement Parts—
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speci-
fied by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to this audio product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the audio product is in proper operating condition.
Lightning Storms—
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Attachments and Accessories—
Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Cart, Stand, Tripod, Bracket or Table—
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip
over.
Disconnect Device—
Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain operable.
