Important Safeguards and Pre cau tions
OUTDOOR ANTENNA INSTALLATION
USING THE UNIT
INSTALLATION
1 POWER SOURCE CAUTION
Operate only from power source indicated on unit
or in this manual. If uncertain, have your Electric
Utility Service Company or Video Products Dealer
verify your home power source.
2 POWER CORD PLUG
For safety, this unit has a polarized type plug (one
wide blade), or a three-wire grounding type plug.
Always hold the plug rmly and make sure your
hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the AC
power cord.
Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc. on the plug.
POLARIZED PLUG CAUTION:
The plug ts into outlet only one way. If it cannot be
fully inserted, try reversing it. If it still will not t, have an
electrician install the proper wall outlet. Do not tamper
with the plug.
GROUNDING PLUG CAUTION:
The plug requires a three-hole grounding outlet.
If necessary, have an electrician install the proper
outlet. Do not tamper with the plug.
3 POWER CORD
To avoid unit malfunction, and to protect against
electrical shock, re or personal injury:
- Keep power cord away from heating appliances and
walking traf c. Do not rest heavy objects on, or roll
such objects over the power cord.
- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.
- An extension cord should have the same type plug
(polarized or grounding) and must be securely
connected.
- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are re
hazards.
- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a quali ed electrician.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If blocked, heat
build-up may result in a re hazard or heat
damage to cassettes or discs.
For your protection:
a.Never cover ventilation slots while unit is ON,
or operate unit while placed on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other soft surface.
b.Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case
or rack, unless properly ventilated.
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do not place unit over or near a heater or radiator,
in direct sunlight, inside closed ve hi cles, in high
temperature [over 95 °F (35 °C)], or in over 75%
humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a cold place
to a warm one, moisture may con dense in unit and
on the tape causing dam age. Never sub ject unit to
vibration, im pact, or place it so that the sur face is tilted
as in ter nal parts may be se ri ous ly dam aged.
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
Never place unit on support or
stand that is not rm, level, and
adequately strong. The unit could
fall causing serious injury to a
child or adult and damage to the
unit.
Move any appliance and
cart combination with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause objects to overturn.
Carefully follow all operating instructions. Before unit is brought out of storage or moved to a new location,
refer again to the INSTALLATION section of these safe guards.
1 KEEP UNIT WELL AWAY FROM WATER OR MOISTURE,
such as vases, sinks, tubs, etc.
2 IF EXPOSED TO RAIN, MOISTURE, OR STRONG IMPACT,
unplug unit and have it inspected by a quali ed service
technician before use.
3 ELECTRICAL STORMS
During a lightning storm, or before leaving unit unused for
extended periods of time, disconnect all equipment from the
power source as well as the antenna and cable system.
4 WHEN UNIT IS PLUGGED IN
DO NOT OPERATE IF:
- liquid has spilled into unit.
- unit was dropped or otherwise damaged.
- unit emits smoke, odours, or noises.
Immediately unplug unit, and have it inspected by a service
technician to avoid potential re and shock hazards.
Never drop or push any object through openings in unit.
Touching internal parts may cause electric shock or re
hazard. Do not put any foreign object on the tray.
Keep magnetic objects, such as speakers, away from unit to
avoid electrical interference.
5 USING ACCESSORIES
Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to
avoid risk of re, shock, or other hazards.
6 CLEANING UNIT
Unplug unit. Use a clean, dry, chemically untreated cloth to
gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT USE cleaning uids,
aerosols, or forced air that could over-spray, or seep into unit
and cause electrical shock. Any substance, such as wax,
adhesive tape, etc. may mar the cabinet surface. Exposure to
greasy, humid, or dusty areas may adversely affect internal
parts.
READ AND RETAIN ALL SAFETY AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. HEED ALL
WARNINGS IN THE MANUAL AND ON UNIT
SERVICE
1 DO NOT SERVICE PRODUCT YOURSELF
If, after carefully following detailed operating in struc tions, the
unit does not operate properly, do not attempt to open or remove
covers, or make any adjustments not described in the manual.
Unplug unit and contact a quali ed service tech ni cian.
2 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Make sure the service technician uses only parts speci ed by
the manufacturer, or have equal safety char ac ter is tics as original
parts. The use of unauthorized substitutes may result in re,
electric shock, or other hazards.
3 SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING
After unit is serviced or repaired, request that a thorough safety
check be done as described in the manufacturers service
literature to ensure video unit is in safe operating condition.
1 SAFE ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
An outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded
to provide some protection against built up static charges
and voltage. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the Canadian Electrical
Code) provides information regarding
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,
con nec tion to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH
VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS
Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines
and electric light or power circuits so it will never touch these
power sources should it ever fall. When installing antenna,
absolutely never touch power lines, circuits or other power
sources as this could be fatal.
