(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Products with CE Marking comply with EMC Directive (2004/108/EC); Low Voltage
Directive (73/23/EEC); R&TTE(1999/5/EC); ROHS Directive (2011/65/EU) issued by

subjected to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
FCC/CE WARNING
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules and ETSI(EN) 300328. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television equipment reception,

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.
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) - Because this product is designed for continuous, 24/7
operation, 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.
Recycling and Disposal Information:
• Do not dispose of electronic devices or any of their components (especially
batteries and LCD displays) in your municipal trash collection.
• Consult your local waste management authority or a recycling organization like
Earth911.com to nd an electronics recycling facility in your area.
CAUTION: Rechargeable batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
