Consumer Product Safety Guide  
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your  
personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please  
read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these  
instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions  
and on the unit.  
1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub,  
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.  
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with  
its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface  
that may block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such  
as a bookcase or cabinet, which may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.  
3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,  
stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described  
in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.  
5. Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely  
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. It is always best to have a  
clear area from where the cable exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC socket.

the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused  
for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line  
surges.
