Electrical Precautions
Do Not Expose to Moisture
Do not use this product near water or in an environment where it
is exposed to dampness or there is the possibility of it getting wet.
Do Not Remove Cover
There are No User Serviceable Parts inside this unit. Servicing
should be done by qualified service personnel.

Use only power sources that match those indicated on the
marking label. If unsure of the type of power supply that is
available, consult your dealer or local power company.
Do Not Overload Power Outlets
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
Verify Power Plugs are Fully Inserted
To prevent potential electrical shock to personnel, verify that the
FS-5 power cord plug is fully inserted in to a grounded receptor
and that the plug blades are not exposed.

Power-Cord Protection

Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Avoid sharp angles in the cord, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the
product.

vii
•Non-Use Period
During extended periods when the device is not used, unplug
it from the power source and retract the power-cord.
Grounding or Polarization
•Polarized
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will
fit into the 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.
•Grounded
If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a
grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
Ground Loop WARNING:
To avoid earth or ground loops, insure that all equipment
connected to the FS-5 share a common ground. Use a single,
grounded outlet strip as opposed to separate outlets with the
possibility of different ground potentials.
Lightning and Power Surges
During electrical storms or when left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug the FS-5 from the power source and
disconnect the antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall onto such lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
