contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
- If this product is equipped with a three-wire

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the

grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage 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
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
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.
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.
OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.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 fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this product
yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this
product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Associations Consumer Electronics Group want you to
get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
To establish a safe level:
- Start your volume control at a low setting.
- Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
- Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a
lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime
of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is
often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Associations Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This
list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
