NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable-TV) system installers attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specified that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
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 tuning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct theinterference 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict
quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installa-
tion and operation precautions which you should be particularly
aware of.
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning-Unplug this video product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended
by the video product manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this video product near
water-for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, and the like.
8. Accessories-Do not place this video product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mounting
of the appliance should follow the manufacturers
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video
product and to protect it from overheating, and these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the video product on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This video product should not be placed in a built-
in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturers instructions
have been adhered to.
10. Power Sources-This video 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 appliance dealer or local
power company. For video products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.11. Grounding or Polarization-This video product is equipped
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit 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 fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
AC POLARIZED PLUG
12. 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, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Protective Attachment Plug - The appliance is equipped
with an attachment plug having overload protection. This is
a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement or
resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is
required, be sure the service technician has used a
replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has
the same overload protection as the original plug.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding-If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the video product, 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 National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984, provides 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 conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
15. Lightning-For added protection for this video product
receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left un-
attended 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 video 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 and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
