IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Read Instructions - Read all the safety and operating instructions before connecting and
operating your TV tuner to help ensure your own personal safety and to protect your
product from potential damage.
•
Retain Instructions - Retain all the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
•
Heed Warnings - Adhere to all warnings on the product and the operating instructions.
•
Grounding - For continued protection against risk of electric shock and fire, this accessory
should be installed/connected only to the products, such as a computer, equipped with a
three-wire grounding plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into
a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
•
Lightning - For added protection and to prevent damage due to lightning and power-line
surges, unplug the host system, such as a computer, from the wall power outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. Unplug the host system from the wall power
outlet when left unattended or unused for long periods of time.
•
Never insert anything metallic into the TV tuner openings. Doing so may create the
danger of electric shock.
•
Openings in the TV tuner cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating,
these openings should not be blocked or covered. Avoid using the TV tuner on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface, as doing so may block the ventilation openings in the
cabinet. If you place the TV tuner in a bookcase or an enclosed space, be sure to provide
adequate ventilation and air flow.
•
Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits.
•
Antenna Installation - When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to prevent it from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them may
be fatal.
•
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the product, ensure
that the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built up static charges. Article 810.21 of the National Electric 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 the antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection of grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
•
Caution for users/installers in Norway - In Norway, there exists a possibility of a
hazardous situation due to voltage difference between the screen of the coaxial cable of
the cable distribution system and the local equipment earth (typically, earthed chassis of
the computer). To avoid any hazards, antenna/cable input connection from the TV tuner
card to a Cable Distribution System must be provided through a galvanic isolator (not
included).
Note: (for CATV system installer) This reminder is provided to call the CATV systems installer's
attention to Section 820.93 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70:2005 (for US/Canada)
and/or EN60728-11:2005 standard (for Europe), which provide guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specify that the coaxial cable shield shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
