2. Keep Instructions - Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
3. Observe Warnings - Follow all warnings on the device and in the operating manual.
4. Follow Instructions - Adhere to all operating and usage instructions for the device.
5. Cleaning - Unplug the device before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaning agents or aerosol cleaners; use only a damp cloth.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this device near water, e.g., next to a bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a damp basement, or near a swimming pool.
8. Accessories - Do not place this device on unstable carts, stands, tripods, brackets, or tables. If the device falls, it may cause serious injury to children or adults and severe damage to the device. Use only carts, stands, tripods, brackets, or tables recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the device. Any installation should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use recommended mounting accessories.
9. Carts - If using a cart, move it carefully. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the cart and device to tip over.
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the casing are for ventilation and are designed to ensure reliable operation and prevent overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The device should never be placed on a bed, sofa, carpet, or similar surface. If installed in an enclosure such as a cabinet or rack, ensure proper ventilation in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Power Supply - This device should only be operated with the voltage specified on its label and should only be connected to grounded outlets. If you are unsure of your home’s power supply, consult your dealer or local power company.
12. Power Cord Protection - Arrange power cords so they cannot be stepped on or pinched by objects resting on or against them. Pay special attention to cords near plugs, power strips, and the point where they exit the device.
13. Power Plug - If the power plug or a device coupling is connected to a disconnecting device, the disconnecting device must remain in operation.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an external antenna or cable system is connected to the device, it must be grounded to provide protection against power surges and static discharge. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the antenna mast and support structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, the size of grounding conductors, the location of the antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and the requirements for the grounding electrode.



NOTICE FOR CABLE TV SYSTEM INSTALLERS

We would like to draw the attention of cable TV system installers to Section 820-40 of the NEC, which provides guidelines for proper grounding. It specifies that cable grounding should be connected to the building's grounding system as close to the cable entry point as possible.



15. Lightning - For extra protection during thunderstorms or when the device is left unattended for long periods, unplug the power cord from the outlet and disconnect the antenna cable from the antenna or cable socket. This protects the device from lightning or power surge damage.
16. High Voltage Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should not be installed near high-voltage power lines or other electrical light or power circuits, or where it may fall onto such power lines. When installing an outdoor antenna system, extreme caution must be taken to avoid touching high-voltage lines. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
17. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or built-in multiple sockets. This poses a risk of electric shock and fire.
18. Open Flames - Do not place open flame sources, such as lit candles, on the device.
19. Foreign Objects and Liquids - Never insert foreign objects into the device’s openings. They may touch high-voltage parts or cause a short circuit, which could result in fire or electric shock. Do not pour any kind of liquid onto the device.
20. Headphones - Excessive sound pressure from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
21. Damage Requiring Repair - Unplug the device from the outlet and have it serviced by qualified personnel if:
    1. The power cord or plug is damaged.
    2. Liquid has been spilled into the device or foreign objects have fallen inside.
    3. The device has been exposed to rain or water.
    4. The device does not operate normally despite following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls specified in the manual. Incorrect adjustments can damage the device and require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore normal operation.
    5. The device has been dropped or damaged in any way.
    6. The device exhibits a significant change in performance. This is often an indication that servicing or maintenance is required.
22. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, ensure that the service technician uses original manufacturer parts or those with the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23. Battery Disposal - When disposing of used batteries, follow local regulations and disposal guidelines.
24. Safety Check - After servicing or repairs, ask the service technician to perform a safety check to confirm the device is in proper working condition.
25. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The device should only be mounted to a wall or ceiling following the manufacturer’s instructions.

THE DEVICE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED POWER OUTLET.

INSTALLATION NOTICE

To ensure adequate ventilation, ensure sufficient space around the device (measured from the outer dimensions and any protruding parts). Minimum distances:

• Left and right sides: 10 cm
• Rear panel: 10 cm
• Top panel: 10 cm

FCC

This device has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This device generates, uses, and can emit radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the device on and off), the user is encouraged to attempt to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
• Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.

CAUTION

Unauthorized modifications to this device, not approved by Nad Electronics, may result in its operation being prohibited. To prevent electric shock, the plug with the wide prong must be fully inserted into the corresponding wide slot. If the battery is replaced incorrectly, there is a risk of explosion. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the device to rain or moisture.

The device must not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids, and liquid-filled objects such as vases should not be placed on it.

The power plug serves as a disconnecting device and should remain easily operable during intended use. To completely disconnect the device from the power supply, the plug must be fully removed from the power outlet.

Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat, such as direct sunlight, fire, etc.
