The lightning symbol in the triangle is used to alert you to the presence of dangerous voltage inside the
receiver that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of electric shock to anyone opening the case. It is also
used to indicate improper installation or handling of the receiver that could damage the electrical system
in the receiver or in other equipment attached to the receiver.
The exclamation point in the triangle is used to alert you to important operating and maintenance
instructions. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury to you or damage to the receiver.
Be careful with electricity:
Power outlet: To prevent electric shock, be sure the electrical plug used on the receiver's power
cord matches the electrical outlet used to supply power to the receiver. Only connect the power
cord to a power source that operates between 120VAC, 60Hz.
Power cord: Be sure the power cord is routed so that it will not be stepped on or pinched by heavy
items.
Power overloading: Avoid overloading electrical outlets or extension cords which otherwise could
result in electric shock or fire.
Lightning: For protection from lightning or when the receiver is left unattended for a long period,
disconnect it from the power source.
Protect other equipment: Unplug the receiver before connecting any other equipment, especially
the TV antenna. Connect all equipment to the receiver before plugging in any power cords to the
power source.
Power line: Be sure your TV antenna is not located near overhead power lines, or where it might fall
into any power lines. Also be careful to avoid touching any such power lines when installing the TV
antenna.
Antenna Grounding: Be sure that the antenna is grounded to provide protection from lightning and
build-up of static electricity.
