5. Cleaning - Unplug this device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft damp cloth for cleaning.
Note: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and for some specific
reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a cable
TV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any
other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging this device.
6. Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near any source of water, or in
an environment where the relative humidity may exceed 95% (non-
condensing).
7. Placement - Do not install this device on any unsteady surface. Do not install
this device on any heat source.
8. Power - Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded AC power
source. Further ensure the device is plugged into a source providing the
required 120 Vac. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the ground pin of
the AC plug.
9. Polarization - This device has a polarized AC line plug having one blade
wider than the other. This plug will only fit into the wall outlet in one
orientation. This is a safety feature. Do not remove the round grounding pin, or
use an adapter that defeats this safety feature.
10. Power Cord - Ensure power cords are routed in a manner that will preclude
them being pinched, frayed, or stepped on. After connecting other devices to
this device, do not push the rear of the device up against any surface (wall or
shelving unit), as this may create an undesired bend in the power cords which
may break the wire strands of the cord.
11. Antenna Grounding - Although this device provides protection against
electrical surges, when connecting an outside antenna or cable system to
devices connected to this device, ensure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide additional protection against voltage surges and
static charges in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70 (see illustration - next page).
12. Lightning - This device employs Metal Oxide Varisters (MOVs), and other
circuitry to protect against lightning and other sources of voltage surges and
sags. It is not necessary to turn this device or the devices connected to this
device, off during a lighting storm.
13. Power Lines - Do not locate outside antenna systems near overhead power
lines, or other electric light or power circuits, or where it may fall or otherwise
come in contact with these power sources. Do not allow the ladder being used,
or the antenna itself to come into contact with these power sources, and such
contact may be fatal.
