• Cleaning - Disconnect the device from the AC power before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays. Clean only with a damp cloth.
• Accessories - Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risks.
• Water and Moisture - Do not use this device near water (e.g., near a bathtub, washbasin, sink, in a damp basement, near a swimming pool, etc.).
• Mounting - Do not place this device on an unstable cart, tripod, table, etc. If the device falls, there is a risk of injury to people and serious damage to the device. Use only carts, tripods, tables, etc., recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the device. The device must only be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions using the recommended mounting accessories.
• Moving the Device - A combination of a device and a cart should be moved with caution. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the device and cart to tip over.
• Ventilation - The openings in the casing are for ventilation, ensuring reliable operation and preventing overheating. These openings must not be covered or blocked. Do not place the device on a bed, sofa, carpet, or similar surface. The device must not be installed in cabinets or other enclosed spaces unless sufficient ventilation is provided per the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Power Supply - This device should only be operated with the power supply specified on the nameplate. The connection must be made to a grounded power outlet. If necessary, consult your dealer or electricity provider for the correct voltage and frequency.
• Proper Cable Placement - Power cables must be positioned to prevent people from stepping on or crushing them. Ensure cables are not bent at power or device connectors, power strips, or directly at the device.
• Power Plug - If the power plug or a device coupling is used as a disconnect device, it must remain readily operable.
• Grounding an External Antenna - If an external antenna or cable system is connected to the device, ensure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to prevent damage from power surges and static electricity. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of antenna masts and antenna supports, as well as lightning protection systems for antennas, wire gauge for grounding conductors, positioning of lightning protection systems for antennas, grounding electrode connections, and grounding electrode requirements.
• Lightning Protection - To protect this product during a thunderstorm or when it will be left unattended and unused for extended periods, unplug it from the wall socket and disconnect it from the antenna or cable system. This helps prevent damage from lightning strikes and power surges.
• High Voltage Lines - An outdoor antenna should not be installed near overhead power lines or other electrical circuits or where it could fall onto such lines. When installing an outdoor antenna, ensure it does not touch power lines or other electrical lines. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fatal accidents.
• Overloading - Do not overload power outlets, extension cords, or multiple power strips, as this could cause fire or electric shock.
• Open Flames - Do not place open flames, such as lit candles, on the product.
• Entry of Solid and Liquid Foreign Objects - Ensure that no foreign objects enter the device, as this could cause short circuits, potentially leading to fires or electric shocks. Ensure that no liquids are spilled on the device.
• Headphones - Excessive sound pressure from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
• Maintenance and Repair - Disconnect the device from the AC power and have it serviced by qualified personnel in the following cases:
  • If the power cord or plug is damaged.
  • If liquid or solid foreign objects have entered the device.
  • If the device has been exposed to rain or water.
  • If the device does not function properly even when operated according to the user manual. Use only the controls specified in the user manual. Adjusting other controls may cause damage to the device and require extensive repair by a qualified technician.
  • If the device has been dropped or otherwise damaged.
  • If the product exhibits a noticeable performance change, this indicates that servicing is required.
• Spare Parts - Ensure that only original spare parts or parts with the same specifications are used for repairs. The use of incorrect spare parts may pose a fire, electric shock, or other risks.
• Battery Disposal - When disposing of used batteries, comply with legal regulations and local disposal guidelines.
• Safety Check - After performing maintenance or repairs, request the responsible technician to conduct safety checks to ensure that the device is in perfect working order.
• Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The device should only be mounted on a wall or ceiling following the manufacturer's instructions.

NOTES ON DEVICE PLACEMENT

To ensure proper ventilation, maintain the following minimum clearances around the device:

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

FCC DECLARATION

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 radiate 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 causes harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the device off and on), users are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the device and 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 help.

CAUTION

• Modifications to this device not expressly approved by NAD Electronics may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada's license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
  1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
  2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
• According to Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate with an antenna of the type and maximum (or lower) gain approved by Industry Canada for the transmitter. To reduce potential radio interference with other users, select the antenna type and gain to ensure that the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) does not exceed the necessary amount for successful communication.
• To prevent electric shock, insert the plug with the wider prong fully into the wide slot.
• The marking and nameplate are located on the rear panel of the device.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the device to rain or moisture. The device should not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the device.
• The power plug serves as a disconnect device and should always be easily accessible during normal use. To fully disconnect the device from the power supply, unplug the power plug completely from the socket.
• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat, such as direct sunlight, fire, or similar conditions.
• If the battery is replaced incorrectly, there is a risk of explosion. Replace it only with the same or an equivalent type.
• A device with a grounding-type plug must be connected to a grounded outlet.

NOTE ON MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE)

To comply with FCC/IC radio frequency exposure requirements, maintain a distance of at least 20 cm between the device's antenna and all persons during operation. To ensure compliance, operation at distances shorter than this is not recommended.

WHEN IN DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
