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—A.C.Power supply circuits should be routed by a certified electrician only, in accordance with
the NEC standards.
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 OpenHouse electronic
equipment because of risk of fire or explosion.
Cleaning—Turn off the circuit breaker to this audio product before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
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 connected 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 discharge unit, size of grounding conduc-
tors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection 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 open-
ing or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other haz-
ards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service—These appliances should be ser-
viced 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
specified by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards. The Master Control Unit battery should be replaced only after turning the power off and only by an
authorized installer.
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—For added protection for these audio products during an electrical storm, or when they are left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the audio products due to lightning and power-line surges.

IMPORTANT USER INFORMATION
H560 has been registered with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in accordance with Parts 68 of its rules. On
the front panel of the H560 Music & Communications Distribution Amplifier is a label that contains, among other information,
the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this number must be
given to the telephone company.
FCC Registration Number: 5J7USA-30852-MA-T
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN): 0.6B 1.1F
Load Number (LN): 12B (Canada only)
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all those
devices ring when your number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of all RENs of all devices connected to one line
should not exceed five (5.0). To find out the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN,
contact your local telephone company for the maximum REN for your calling area.
If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service
temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But, if advance notice isn’t practical, you will be notified as soon as
possible. You will be notified of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain unin-
terrupted telephone service. If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact TECHNICAL SUPPORT
at 1-800-999-5225 for information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this
equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure the equipment is not malfunctioning.
If the telephone features are not functioning or are malfunctioning, switch off the circuit breaker connected to the system.
This will directly connect the telephone line with all the telephones connected to the package. Contact your dealer for
repairs.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection of party lines is
subject to state tariffs. (Contact your state public utility commission for information).
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference

Connecting the Music Input Wall Plate to the H560
The H561 Music Input Wall Plate is an
in-wall preamp that sends the audio
from the homeowner’s receiver to the
H560.
This is a LINE LEVEL input only (Tape
Out).
DO NOT Connect Speaker Level
Audio to the H560 as this will
damage the unit!
OpenHouse recommends the use
of a FIXED line level output (Tape
