IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type
described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. PolarizationThe unit is equipped with a polarized power plug
where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesnt fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug
still doesnt fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protectionRoute the AC power supply cord so
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and
disconnecting it.
4. OverloadingWhen connecting the AC power supply cord, be
careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord,
or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
5. Nonuse periodsTurn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug
the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a
long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.
6. Attachments and accessoriesUse only the attachments and
accessories recommended in these operating instructions.
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed
below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
Installation
4. Outdoor antenna groundingIf you connect an outdoor
antenna, ground the antenna system to protect against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information
about 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. Refer to this diagram.
