READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
DANGER
• For your protection and safety, carefully read and understand the information provided in this
manual completely before attempting to assemble, install or operate this product. Failure to do so
could lead to electrical shock, fire or other injuries that could be hazardous or even fatal.
• DO NOT connect this fixture to an electrical system that does not provide a means for equipment
grounding. Never use a fixture in a two-wire system that is not grounded. Installing a fixture into an
electrical system not having a proper grounding means could cause metal parts of the fixture to
carry electrical currents if any of the fixture wires, wire connections or splices were to become
broken, cut or loose during the mounting or normal operation of the fixture. Under this condition,
anyone coming in contact with the fixture would be subject to electrical shock, which could cause
serious injury or death.
• DO NOT connect the bare or green insulation fixture ground wire to the black (HOT) current-carrying
wire or the white neutral house wire. Connection of the bare or green fixture ground wire to the black
or white house wires may cause metal parts of the fixture to carry electrical currents. Under this
condition, anyone coming in contact with the fixture will receive electrical shock, which could cause
serious injury or death.
• DO NOT damage or cut the wire insulation (covering) during installation of fixture. DO NOT permit
wires to contact any surface having a sharp edge. To do so may damage or cut the wire insulation,
which could cause serious injury or death from electrical shock.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
• All electrical connections must be in agreement with local codes and ordinances, the National
Electric Code (NEC) and ANSI/NFPA 70-1999. Contact your municipal building department to learn
about your local codes, permits and/or inspections. Risk of fire - most dwellings built before 1985
have supply wire rated for 140°F. Consult a qualified electrician before installation.
• To avoid personal injury, the use of gloves may be necessary while handling fixture parts with sharp
edges.
• DO NOT suspend any fixture by the house wires. A fixture must always be mounted directly to an
outlet box or to a mounting strap that is first attached to the outlet box. Wire connectors will not
support the weight of a fixture. Suspending a fixture by the house wires and wire connectors will
result in the fixture falling, with the possibility of personal injury and the danger of electrical shock or
fire.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, wire connectors provided with this light
fixture are designed to accept only one 12-gauge house wire and two lead wires from the light
fixture. If your house wire is larger than 12-gauge or there is more than one house wire to connect to
the corresponding fixture lead wires, consult an electrician for the proper size wire connectors to
use.
• Note: The device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
