For added protection for this unit receiver during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna
or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to
lightning and powerline surges.
Outdoor Antenna
Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines
or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Maintenance
Cleaning - Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
En
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the unit, 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
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, provides
information with regard 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 figure.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged.
- If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
- If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal
operation.

NOTE
REMARQUE
CAUTION
This equipment 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.
Cet appareil a été testé et jugé conforme aux normes des
appareils numériques de Classe B, conformément au chapitre
15 du règlement FCC. Ces normes sont conçues pour assurer
une protection raisonnable contre les interférences
radioélectriques lorsque l’appareil est utilisé dans un
environnement résidentiel.
Cet appareil génère, utilise et peut émettre des radiofréquences
et, s’il n’est pas installé et utilisé conformément au mode
d’emploi, il peut provoquer des interférences dans les
communications radio. II n’est cependant pas possible de
garantir que des interférences ne se produiront pas dans une
installation privée. Si cet appareil génère des interférences
néfastes dans la réception des ondes radio ou télévisées, ce
que l’on peut facilement contrôler en mettant l’appareil
successivement sous et hors tension, l’utilisateur est invité à
tenter de remédier aux interférences en appliquant l’une des
mesures suivantes:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS
(POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD,
RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN
BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
