11 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
supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.
The primary method of isolating the amplier from the mains supply is to
disconnect the mains plug. Ensure that the mains plug remains accessible at all
times. Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if the unit will not be used
for several months or more.
12 Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will t into the power 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 t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13 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,

with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of
the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, species that
the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to
the point of cable entry as practical.
15 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the product due to lightning and power line surges.
16 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power 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.
17 Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
18 Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
WARNING: THE APPARATUS SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO DRIPPING
OR SPLASHING, AND OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES,
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON THE APPARATUS. AS WITH ANY ELECTRONIC
PRODUCTS, USE CARE NOT TO SPILL LIQUIDS INTO ANY PART OF THE
SYSTEM. LIQUIDS CAN CAUSE A FAILURE AND/OR A FIRE HAZARD.

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualied technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a
need for service.
20 Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
21 Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in
