11. Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.
12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them. Pay particular attention to cords and plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time,
the unit should be disconnected from power source.
14. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or power
circuits, where it can fall into such power lines or 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
may be fatal.
15. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
product 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 product.
17. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as open-
ing or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet a. Use No.10 AWG (5.3mm) copper, No.8 AWG (8.4mm) aluminum,

Installation Procedure
DSP806
Adherence to these precautions will help prevent
problems during initial installation of the DSP806.
WARNING:
When connecting the DSP806 directly to a TV set, attenuate the output sufficiently to pre-
vent overdriving the TV set. The input level to the TV should be 5 dBmV.
1. Connect the I.F. jumper from the I.F. output to the I.F. input on the rear panel.
2. Connect the DSP806 to a 115 VAC grounded receptacle. Observe the lit LED light indicating power is on.
3. Connect the antenna input signal and check the level at the input test point using a signal level meter or spectrum analyzer. The level
must be at 0 dBmV minimum for a minimum carrier to noise ratio of 45 dB.
4. Connect the signal level meter or spectrum analyzer to the -30dB TEST POINT (front panel) and adjust the output level control to
desired level.
5. Verify performance by connecting a TV to the output test point or through an attenuator (50 dB) to the RF output. The input level to
the TV should be 0 to 10 dBmV maximum.
