– 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 or network adaptor near or over a
radiator or heat register, or where either item is exposed to
direct sunlight.
ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outdoor antenna or
cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code provides information with respect 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.
Lightning
For added protection of this console during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet, disconnect the phone cord and/or
network cable and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the console due to lightning and power-
line surges. Do not touch the console or network adaptor during a
lightning storm as this may expose you to the risk of electrical
shock.

FRAYED OR TAUT AC power cord
CRACKED PLUG
– If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the console
or network adaptor.
– If the console or network adaptor has been exposed to rain or
water.
– If the console or network adaptor has been subject to excessive
physical shock by being dropped, or the console or network
adaptor exterior has been damaged.
– If the console or network adaptor does not operate normally
when following the instruction manual. Adjust only those
controls that are specified in the instruction manual. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the console to normal operation.
– When the console or network adaptor exhibits a distinct change
in performance – this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the console or network adaptor
yourself, as removing the exterior casing may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to an authorized service center. Call
1-800-345-7669 to receive instructions on obtaining repair/
replacement services.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original
parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
Safety check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the console or
network adaptor, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that
the unit is in safe operating condition.
