7US– Never place the console in a confined space, such as a bookcase,or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.– Do not place the console near or over a radiator or heat register,or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.ANTENNASOutdoor antenna grounding –If an outdoor antenna orcable system is installed, follow the precautions below.An outdoor antenna system should not be located in thevicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light orpower circuits, or where it can come in contact withsuch power lines or circuits.WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNASYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TOKEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINESOR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM ISALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to providesome protection against voltage surges and built-upstatic charges. Section 810 of the National ElectricalCode provides information with respect to propergrounding of the mast and supporting structure,grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dischargeunit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, andrequirements for the grounding electrode.LightningFor added protection of this console during a lightning storm, orwhen it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,unplug it from the wall outlet, and disconnect the antenna orcable system. This will prevent damage to the console due tolightning and power-line surges. Do not touch the console duringa lightning storm as this may expose you to the risk of electricalshock.SERVICEDamage requiring serviceUnplug the console from the wall outlet and refer servicing toqualified service personnel under the following conditions:– When the AC power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.– If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the console.– If the console has been exposed to rain or water.– If the console has been subject to excessive physical shock bybeing dropped, or the console exterior has been damaged.– If the console does not operate normally when following theinstruction manual. Adjust only those controls that are specifiedin the instruction manual. Improper adjustment of othercontrols may result in damage and will often require extensivework by a qualified technician to restore the console to normaloperation.– When the console exhibits a distinct change in performance–this indicates a need for service.ServicingDo not attempt to service the console yourself, as removing theexterior casing may expose you to dangerous voltage or otherhazards.Refer all servicing to an authorized service center. Call1-800-345-7669 to receive instructions on obtaining repair/replacement services.Replacement partsWhen replacement parts are required, be sure the servicetechnician has used replacement parts specified by themanufacturer that have the same characteristics as the originalparts.Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, orother hazards.Safety checkUpon completion of any service or repairs to the console, ask theservice technician to perform routine safety checks (as specifiedby the manufacturer) to determine that the unit is in safeoperating condition.Ground clampAntennadischarge unit(NEC Section810-20)ElectricserviceequipmentGround clampsPower service groundingelectrode system(NEC Art 250, Part H)Grounding conductors(NEC Section 810-21)FRAYED OR TAUT AC power cordCRACKED PLUGNEC- National Electrical CodeAntenna lead-inwire
