6. Accessories - Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to avoid risks.
7. Water and humidity - Do not use this device near water (e.g., near a bathtub, sink, washbasin, in a damp basement, near a swimming pool, or in similar environments).
8. Placement - Do not place this device on an unstable cart, tripod, or table. If this device falls, it may cause injury to persons and severe damage to the device. Use the device only with a cart, tripod, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the device. The device should only be mounted according to the manufacturer's instructions. Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer for mounting.
9. Moving the device - A combination of the device and a cart should be moved with caution. Abrupt stopping, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the combination to tip over.
10. Ventilation - The openings in the housing are designed for ventilation to ensure reliable operation and to prevent overheating. These openings should not be covered or blocked. Never place the device on a bed, sofa, carpet, or similar surface that could block the ventilation openings. This device should not be installed in a cabinet or rack without ensuring adequate ventilation and following the manufacturer's guidelines.
11. Power supply - This device must only be operated with a power supply as indicated on the nameplate. The connection must be made to a grounded socket. If in doubt about the correct voltage and frequency, consult your dealer or electricity provider.
12. Proper routing of the power cable - Power cables must be routed so that no one can walk on them and that they are not pinched. Ensure that power cables are not kinked at power plugs, device connectors, multi-sockets, or directly at the device.
13. Power plug - The power plug or a device coupling serves as the disconnecting device and should always be easily operable.
14. Grounding an external antenna - When connecting an external antenna or broadband cable 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 the correct grounding of antenna masts and supports, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, the size of the grounding conductors, the location of the antenna discharge unit, the connection to grounding electrodes, and the requirements for grounding electrodes.
15. NOTE FOR INSTALLERS OF BROADBAND CABLE CONNECTIONS
    This notice is intended to inform broadband cable installers about Section 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which contains information on proper grounding and specifically states that the cable ground should be connected to the building's grounding system as close to the cable entry point as possible.
16. Lightning Protection - During a thunderstorm or extended periods of non-use, this device should be disconnected from the power supply. Additionally, the antenna cable should be unplugged from the device to prevent damage from lightning strikes and power surges.
17. High-Voltage Power Lines - Any external antenna should not be installed near high-voltage power lines or other electrical lines to prevent accidental contact. When installing an external antenna, ensure that it does not touch or come into contact with high-voltage or other electrical lines. Failure to follow this warning may result in fatal accidents.
18. Overloading - Ensure that wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips are not overloaded, as this may cause fire hazards or electric shocks.
19. Flame Sources - Do not place any open flame sources, such as lit candles, on the device.
20. Entry of Solid and Liquid Objects - Ensure that no solid or liquid objects enter the interior of the device, as this may cause short circuits, leading to fire hazards or electric shocks. Ensure that no liquids are spilled into the device.
21. Headphones - Excessive sound pressure levels from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
22. Maintenance and Repairs - Disconnect the device from the power supply and have it serviced by qualified personnel in the following cases:
    1. If the power cord or plug is damaged.
    2. If liquid or solid objects have entered the interior of the device.
    3. If liquid or solid objects have entered the interior of the device.
    4. If liquid or solid objects have entered the interior of the device. Only operate controls specified in the user manual. Adjusting other controls may cause damage to the device and require extensive servicing by a qualified technician.
    5. If the device has been dropped or otherwise damaged.
    6. If the device no longer operates as expected (this indicates that servicing is required).
23. Spare Parts - Ensure that only original spare parts or parts with the same specifications are used for servicing. Using incorrect spare parts may pose a fire hazard, electric shock risk, or other dangers.
24. Battery Disposal - When disposing of used batteries, comply with local laws and environmental regulations.
25. Safety Check - After completing maintenance or repairs, ask the technician to perform a safety check to ensure that the device is in proper working condition.

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 does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning the device on and off), users are encouraged to try the following measures to mitigate the interference:

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

CAUTION

• Modifications to this device not approved by NAD Electronics may render the device unusable.
• To prevent electric shock, ensure that the plug with the wide blade is fully inserted into the wide slot.
• If the battery is replaced improperly, there is a risk of explosion. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type.
• A device with a grounding plug should only be connected to a properly grounded outlet.

WARNING

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this device to rain or moisture.
• This device should not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on the device.
• The power plug serves as the disconnecting device and should always be easily accessible during intended use. To fully disconnect the device from the power supply, the power plug should be completely removed from the socket.
• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire, or similar sources.
