FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) NOTICE:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Power Cord Protection—A.C.Power supply circuits should be routed by a certified electrician only, in accordance with the NEC stan-
dards.
Telephones—Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock
from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak if the leak is in the vicinity of the Channel Plus electronic equipment because of risk of
fire or explosion.
Cleaning—Turn off the circuit breaker to this audio product before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for clean-
ing.
Power Lines—An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to these audio products, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the U.S. National
Electrical Code, and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, provide information with
respect to 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,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See the
grounding diagram (right).
Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this could result in
fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry—Never insert objects of any kind through the openings
of these appliances, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are
not spilled into the appliance through openings in the enclosure.
Servicing—Do not attempt to service these appliances yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service—These appliances should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
• A power supply connection or a plug has been damaged or
• If liquid has been spilled into the appliance or objects have fallen into the appliance or
• The appliance has been exposed to water or moisture or
• The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance or
• The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other haz-
ards.
Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to this audio product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the audio product is in proper operating condition.
Lightning—For added protection for these audio products during an electrical storm, or when they are left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the audio products due to
lightning and power-line surges.
