Water and Moisture

Do not use this antenna near water. Keep away from a bathtub, sink, wet

basement or swimming pool and other wet places.

Power Source

The wall adapter for this antenna should be operated only from a standard

120 V, 60 Hz wall outlet. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to

your home, contact your local power company.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service this antenna yourself as opening or removing cov-

ers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards and voids your

warranty. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Cleaning

Unplug the antenna from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a lint free

cloth for cleaning the outside of the unit only. Do not use aerosol cleaners.

Important Information

Your antenna’s AC adapter operates on 120 volts AC, 60 Hz.

CAUTION:

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or back of the

AC adapter or antenna. There are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you spill liquid on the AC adapter or antenna, disconnect the AC

adapter’s power cord from the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or shock

hazard and consult authorized service personnel.

•

To prevent damage to internal parts, do not expose the antenna to moisture.

• Maintain electrical safety. Powerline-operated equipment or accessories

connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification

mark on the accessories themselves and should not have been modified so

as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard

from electrical shock or fire.

If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

ANT500 Manual 6/10/99 1:07 PM Page 3

The antenna is designed to be mounted on a wall in a discreet, out of sight

location. For example, it may be hidden behind furniture. The antenna will

perform better if located as high as possible, and away from power outlets

and wires inside the wall. Do not place the Antenna Element

directly beneath the TV or other electronic equipment.

Prior to selecting a permanent location for the antenna, proceed with

hooking the antenna up to your TV or VCR and experiment by moving the

element to get the best picture possible. See “Installation” page 5.

Once the final hanging location is selected, mount the antenna by using the

V hanger on the back of the antenna element. The antenna will hang from a

hook or screw inserted into the wall.

There should be no need to reposition the antenna element once installed.
