Tuner product
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 accessoryshould
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 usingthe 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.
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, be sure that the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltagesurges 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 requirementsfor 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 PC system). 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 to 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.
