Notice to Installers
The servicing instructions in this notice are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating
instructions, unless you are qualified to do so.
Outdoor Grounding System
If this product connects to an outdoor antenna or cable system, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded (earthed). This provides some protection against voltage surges and built-
up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electric Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides the
following information:
•
Grounding of the mast and supporting structure
•
Grounding the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit
•
Size of the grounding conductors
•
Location of the antenna-discharge unit
•
Connection to grounding electrodes
•
Requirements for the grounding electrodes (see the following antenna grounding diagram
as recommended by NEC ANSI/NFPA 70)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
Protect the Product from Lightning
T11518
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as a power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
Power Source Warning
A label on this product indicates the correct power source for this product. Operate this product
only from an electrical outlet with the voltage and frequency indicated on the product label. If
you are uncertain of the type of power supply to your home or business, consult your service
provider or your local power company.
The AC inlet on the unit must remain accessible and operable at all times.
Ground the Product
In addition to disconnecting the AC power from the wall outlet, disconnect the signal inputs.
Verify the Power Source from the On/Off Power Light
When the on/off power light is not illuminated, the apparatus may still be connected to the
power source. The light may go out when the apparatus is turned off, regardless of whether it is
still plugged into an AC power source.
Eliminate AC Power/Mains Overloads
Handling Disposable Batteries
This product may contain disposable batteries. Heed the following warning and follow the Battery
Safety and Battery Disposal instructions below.
Battery Safety
• Insert batteries correctly. There may be a risk of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly
inserted.
• Do not attempt to recharge ‘disposable’ or ‘non-reusable’ batteries.
• Please follow instructions provided for charging ‘rechargeable’ batteries.
• Replace batteries with the same or equivalent type that we recommend.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive heat (such as sunlight or fire).
• Do not expose batteries to temperatures above 100°C (212°F).
Battery Disposal
• The batteries may contain substances that could be harmful to the environment.
• Recycle or dispose of batteries in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s instructions
and local/national disposal and recycling regulations.
• The batteries may contain perchlorate, a known hazardous substance, so special handling
and disposal of this product might be necessary. For more information about perchlorate
and best management practices for perchlorate-containing substance, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate
WARNING: There is danger of explosion if the battery is mishandled or
incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same type of battery. Do not disassemble
it or attempt to recharge it outside the system. Do not crush, puncture, dispose of in
fire, short the external contacts, or expose to water or other liquids. Dispose of the
battery in accordance with local regulations and instructions from your service provider.
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not overload AC power/
mains, outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. For products that
require battery power or other power sources to operate them, refer to the operating
instructions for those products.
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! Do not locate an outside
antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or power circuits. Touching
power lines or circuits might be fatal.
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and fire hazard! If this product connects to
cable wiring, be sure the cable system is grounded (earthed). Grounding provides
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
