THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSARE REQUIREMENTS OF UL AND CSA SAFETY REGULATIONSWarning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not exposethis unit to rain or moisture.E3 CAUTIONmRISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKDO NOT OPEN—-AVIS: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE-NE PAS OUVRIR.A The graphic symbol of a lightning flash with an arrowpoint within a triangle signifies that there is dangerousvoltage within the unit and it poses a hazard to anyoneremoving the cover to gain access to the interior of theunit.Only qualified service personnel should makeany such attempt./|\ The graphic symbol of an exclamation point within an/ W \ equilateral triangle warns a user of the device that it is/ f \ necessary to refer to the instruction manual and its/ • \ warnings for proper operation of the unit.Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing seriousinjury to a child or adult, and serious damage to theunit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or tablerecommended by the manufacturer, or sold with theunit. Any mounting of the device should follow the man¬ufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting ac¬cessory recommended by the manufacturer.Read all the safety and operating instructions before connecting or usingthis unit.Retain this notice and the owner’s manual for future reference.All warnings on the unit and in its operating instructions should be adhered to.All operating and use instructions should be followed.Do not use this unit near water; tor example, near a bathtub, washbowl,kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.The unit should be installed so that its location or position does not interferewith its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed,sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; orplaced in a built-in installation, such as bookcase or cabinet, that mayimpede the flow of air through its ventilation openings.The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heatregisters, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.The unit should be connected to a power-supply outlet only of the voltageand frequency marked on its rear panel.The power-supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walkedon or pinched, especially near the plug, convenience receptacles, or wherethe cord exits from the unit.Clean unit only as recommended in its instruction manual.The power-supply cord of the unit should be unplugged from the wall outletwhen it is to be unused for a long period of time.Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled,into the enclosure through any openings.This unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged; orB. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the unit; orC. The unit has been exposed to rain, or liquids of any kind; orD. The unit does not appear to operate normally, or exhibits amarked change in performance; orE. The device has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.DO NOT ATTEMPT SERVICING OF THIS UNIT YOURSELF.REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.ATTENTIONPOUR PREVENIR LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES NE PAS UTILISERCETTE FICHE POLARISEE AVEC UN PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISEDE COURANT OU UNE AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LESLAMES PEUVENT ETRE INSEREES A FOND SANS EN LAISSER AU-CUNE PARTIE A DECOUVERT.CAUTIONTO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS POLARIZED PLUGWITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UN¬LESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADEEXPOSURE.CAUTIONPOWER LINESAny outdoor antenna must be located away from all power lines.OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDINGIf an outside antenna is connected to your tuner or tuner-preamplifier, besure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protectionagainst voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of theNational Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information withrespect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, groundingof the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of groundingconductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to groundingelectrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3 mm*) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4 mm*) aluminum,No.17 AWG (1.0 mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as aground wire.Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-offinsulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 m) apart.c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-inenters house.d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3 mm2) copper, or theequivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used.
