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. from  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 manufacturer’s 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.
