IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Damages caused by non-compliance with this operating manual will void the warranty!
1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future
reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.
4. Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
location, consult your video dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
5. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in the risk of
re or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged
or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or re
hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
6. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
7. Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the video equipment be connected to a
surge protector. Doing so will protect the equipment from damage caused by power surges.
Surge protectors should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certication mark.
8. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - It is recommended that you connect the product to an
uninterruptible power supply. An uninterruptible power supply has an internal battery that will
keep the product running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible power supplies should
bear the UL listing mark or CSA certication mark.
CAUTION: Maintain electrical safety. Power line operated equipment or accessories connected to
this product should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certication mark on the accessory itself and
should not be modied so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard
from electrical shock or re. If in doubt, contact qualied service personnel.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video equipment
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over
a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the product manufacturer’s
instructions have been followed.
10. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless recommended by the product manufacturer as
they may cause a hazard.
11. Water and Moisture - Do not use receivers or video monitors near water — for example, near
a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool
and the like.
12. Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including ampliers) that produce heat.
13. Accessories - Do not place this video equipment on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table.
The video equipment may fall, causing serious damage to the product. Use this product only
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
