INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This symbol, located on back or bottom of the
unit, is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufcient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
This symbol, located on back or bottom of the
unit, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
Any use of the controls or an adjustment to the
procedures other than those specied herein may
result in hazardous radiation.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE
SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove
cover (or back). There are no user-serviceable
parts inside. Please refer any servicing to qualied
service personnel.
WARNING: Changes or modications to this unit
not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
WARNING: There is a danger of explosion if you
attempt to charge standard Alkaline batteries in the
unit. Only use rechargeable NiMH batteries.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. 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
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on
a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
ampliers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If
the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specied by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been dam-
aged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed
15. Only connect to the type of house-hold power
supply as indicated in the operating instructions and
rating label.
16. Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as
this can result in a risk of re or electric shock.
17. Never push objects of any kind or spill liquid into
this product through openings as this could result in a
risk of re or electric shock.
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specied
by the manufacturer. Ask the service technician to per-
form safety checks to ensure proper operation to avoid
possible re, electric shock, or other hazards.
19. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against volt-
age surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
20. The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
21. Where the AC plug or an appliance coupler is used
as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
