Important Safety Instructions, continued
21 Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can
fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme
care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be
fatal.
22 Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer
all servicing to authorized service personnel.
23 Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
24 Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper
ventilation.
25 Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than
40°F or more than 113°F. If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in
immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at least 45 minutes
before plugging it in.
26 Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. During
an electrical storm or when the receiver is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the lines
between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect the telephone line. These
actions provide additional protection against damage caused by lightning or
power line surges.
27 Tighten all of the coaxial cable connections only by hand. If you use a wrench,
you may overtighten the connections and damage your equipment.
