ating instructions for future reference.
3. Heed warnings - Adhere to warnings and oper-
ating instructions.
4. Follow Instructions - Follow all operating and use
instructions.
WARNING: TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELEC-
TRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS INSTRU-
MENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
5. Power Sources - Connect the power supply only to
the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the unit.
6. Power-Cord Protection - Route power-supply cords
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pin-
ched by items placed upon or against them, pay-
ing particular attention to cords at plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the instrument.
7. Ventilation - Locate the instrument for proper ven-
tilation. For example, the instrument should not be
placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that
may block ventilation openings; or, placed in a
built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet,
that may impede the flow of air through the ven-
tilation openings.
8. Heat - Locate the instrument away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other appliance (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9. Wall or Cabinet Mounting - Mount the instrument
in a wall or cabinet only as described in the
owners manual.
10. Water and Moisture - Do not use the instrument
near water - for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet

dry cloth. Clean the panel with a cloth moistened
with a window cleaner.

fall and liquids to spill into the instrument through
enclosure openings.
13. Power Lines - Locate any outdoor antenna away
from power lines.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outdoor
antenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be
sure the antenna system is grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built
up static charge.
In the U.S.A., section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1987, provides informa-
tion on the proper ground for the mast and sup-
porting structure, ground for the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge
unit,
and
size
of
ground
con-
ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-
nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
For ground wire:
a) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm2) copper No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm2) aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2)
copper-clad steel, bronze wire, or larger as ground
wire.
b) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to
house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4 feet
(1.22 meters) to 6 feet (1.83 meters) apart.
c) Mount antenna discharge unit as closely as
possible to where lead-in enters house.
d) Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG
(13.3 mm2) copper or equivalent when separate
antenna grounding electrode is used.
USING THE HAND HELD REMOTE CONTROLLER
When The HR7 (hand held controller), is activated
by pressing buttons on the keypad, it transmits a
twelve bit code on an infrared carrier. When receiv-
ed by the infrared sensor, the transmitted data is
decoded in the Remote Control Module. The in-
frared sensor has been designed for a broad recep-
tion angle so it is usually not necessary to point the
hand-held controller directly at the sensor.
