!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER FROM THIS UNIT. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL THIS
UNIT IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer’s attention to Article
820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all instructions prior to installation and use.
Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
1. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the amplifier and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
2. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instruction should be
followed.
3. Water and Moisture – Do not use near water – for example, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. This product is
designed for indoor use only. Do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.
4. Mounting and Ventilation – Proper mounting to a suitable surface
utilizing the mounting holes in the bottom flange of the amplifier is
essential to insure proper operation and prevent damage! Under no
circumstances should the amplifier be supported or suspended from its
AC power cord or the input and output coaxial cables. Whenever
possible, the amplifier should be mounted with the cooling fins in a
vertical position to ensure proper heat dissipation. Slots and openings n
the housing are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of

the product and protect it from overheating, these openings must not be
blocked or covered. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a cabinet or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the amplifier, be sure the antenna or cable 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 / NAPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
5. Proper Operation – To insure proper operation, the amplifier should be
adjusted to within its proper operating range as per the amplifier
specifications. Failure to do so may result in improper operation and
product failure.
6. Fusing – The amplifier contains an external fuse (5x20mm, 0.35A,
250V) and an internal fuse (5x20mm, 1.0A, 250V) for protection.
Should the amplifier fail to operate, unplug the unit, check the external
fuse, or remove the front cover and check the internal fuse. Note, only
replace fuse with the correct size fuse. Failure to do so may create
a risk of fire or a hazardous situation.
7. Grounding or Polarization – This amplifier is equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, the 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 your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
8. Power-Cord Protection – Power supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
9. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock.
10. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this
amplifier through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the amplifier.
11. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power 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.
12. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this amplifier yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Repair or
other replacement should be returned to TONER. (969 Horsham Road,
Horsham, Pennsylvania 19044 USA).
