NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable-TV) system installers attention to Section 820-40 of the
NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, speci es 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 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.
NOTE:
Changes or modi cations not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the
users authority to operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
This product was designed and manufactured to
meet strict quality and safety standards. There are,
however, some installation and operation precautions
which you should be particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions -“ All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions -“ The safety and
operating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
3. Heed Warnings -“ All warnings on the product
and in the operating instructions should be
adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions -“ All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning -“ Unplug this 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 product manufacturer
as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture -“ Do not use this 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 product on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The product may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage
to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturers instructions, and should use
a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer. 9. A product and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination to overturn.
10. Ve n tilation -“ Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the 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 product on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This 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.
11. 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 supply to your
home, consult your product dealer or local
power company. For products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization -“ This product
may be equipped with a polarized
alternatingcurrent line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will
t 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 t, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
AC POLARIZED PLUG
13. 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 product.
14. Protective Attachment Plug -“ The product
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.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -“ 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 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 antennadischarge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure 1. 16. L ightning -“ 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.
17. 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.
18. Overloading -“ Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of re
or electric shock.
19. 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 re or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the product.
20. 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
quali ed service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service -“ Unplug this
product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to quali ed service personnel under
the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or
water. d. If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a quali ed technician to restore the
product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or damaged
in any way, and
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change
in performance this indicates a need for
service. 22. Replacement Parts -“ When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in re,
electric shock, or other hazards.
23. S a f e t y Check -“ Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this product, ask the
