IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Your antenna rotator unit , consisting of a control and a drive , has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety , but improper installation or abuse of this unit , or the antenna connected to it , can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards . In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this unit , observe the following basic rules for its installation , use and servicing . 1 . An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other elec - tric light or power circuits , or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits . When installing an outside antenna system , extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal . 2 . If the drive unit is installed on an outdoor antenna , 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 , ANSI / NFPA70 , or CSA C22 . 1 Sections 10 , 16 , and 54 , of the Canadian Electrical Code , provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc - ture , grounding of the antenna lead - in wire and drive - unit to control - unit interconnecting cables to an antenna discharge unit , size of grounding conductors , location of antenna - discharge unit , connection to grounding electrodes , and requirements for the grounding electrode . See separate enclosed grounding code on page 26 . 3 . Your control is provided with ventilation openings to allow heat generated during operation to be released , If these openings are blocked , heat build - up can cause failure of the control and external damage . Therefore : â€¢ Never block the ventilation slots by placing it on a bed , sofa , rug , etc . â€¢ Never place in a " built - in " enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided ; â€¢ Never cover the openings with cloth or other material ; â€¢ Never place near or over radiators , heat registers , amplifiers , or other heat sources . 4 . Your control may be equipped with a polarized AC line plug ( one blade of the plug is wider than the other ) . This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way . Should you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet , try reversing the plug . Should it still fail to fit , contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet . Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar - ized plug . 5 . Operate the control only from an A . C . power source as indicated on the bottom of the control . Do not use D . C . 6 . Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous , and so are frayed power cords and broken plugs . They may result in a shock or fire hazard . Unplug the control and call your service tech - nician for replacement . 7 . Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord , and do not place the control where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse . Pay particular attention to the cord at the plug and the point where it exists from the control unit . This may result in a shock or fire hazard . @

8 . All individuals , especially children , should be cautioned about dropping or pushing objects into any openings . Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in electrical shock . Objects dropped into the control may also result in a fire hazard . 9 . Never expose the control to rain or water . It the control becomes damp or wet , or if liquids are spilled into it , unplug the control and have it inspected by a service technician before further use . Liquids , rain or excessive moisture may cause electrical shorts which can result in fire or shock hazards . Never operate the control near water ; such as a swimming pool , etc . or near a bathtub , sink , laundry tub or in a wet basement . 10 . Unplug the control before cleaning . Use a slightly damp ( not wet ) cloth . Do not use an aerosol directly on the control since it may over spray and cause electrical shock . 11 . Whenever the unit exhibits distinct change on performance unplug the control and call your dealer or service technician . 12 . Any attempt to disassemble the control or drive portions of this unit may expose you to high voltage or other hazards . Observe all cautionary labels , warnings and safeguards . 13 . If the control has been dropped or the case has been damaged , fire , and shock hazard may exist . Unplug the control and have it checked by a service technician before use . 14 . When replacement parts are required , have the service technician verify that the replacements used have the same safety characteristics as the original parts . Unauthorized substitutions may result in a risk of fire or electric shock , or other risks . 15 . Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit , please ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the unit is in a safe operating condition . 16 . For added protection of the control during a lightning storm or when control is to be left unattended for an extended period of time , unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the rotator cable . This will prevent possible shock , fire hazard and damage to the control due to lightning storms or power line surges . 17 . Always use extreme caution when installing a rooftop antenna and rotator system to reduce the risk of falls . Wear rubber - soled shoes and use a sturdy ladder . Do not install on a windy day or when the roof is wet or is covered with ice or snow . O
