Cleaning the DT-7000S

If the tuner becomes dirty, turn its power off and wipe it

clean with a soft dry cloth.

Do not use hard cloths or paint thinner, alcohol, or other

volatile solvents to clean the tuner. These may cause

damage or remove indicator characters.

Important Safeguards

Power Source -- Connect the DT-7000S only to a 120V 60Hz

AC power supply. If you are not sure of the type of power

supply to your home, consult your local power company.

Power cord protection -- Route the power cord so that it is

not likely to be walked-on or pinched by items placed

upon or against it.

CAUTION -- Polarization -- The DT-7000S is fitted with a

polarized AC plug (having one blade wider than the other).

This plug will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a

safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into

the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it should still fail to fit,

contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Ventilation -- Do not block the ventilation openings on the

back of the DT-7000S. Place the tuner at least 4 inches

away from the wall. When placing the DT-7000S in a rack or

built-in installation, take care to provide proper ventilation.

Water & moisture -- Do not use the DT-7000S near water;

do not expose it to dripping or splashing liquids; do not

place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the

tuner.

Temperature -- The DT-7000S may not work properly if

used at extremely low, or freezing temperatures. The ideal

ambient temperature is above 41°F (+5°C).

Heat -- Do not install the DT-7000S near heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appli-

ances that produce heat.

Electric shock -- Do not place objects or spill liquids into

the ventilation openings. If a metal object comes into con-

tact with the inside of the tuner, a dangerous electric

shock may result. Never remove the enclosure. If internal

parts are touched accidentally, a serious electric shock

could occur.

Lightning -- Unplug the DT-7000S from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna when it will be unused for a long

period of time.

Damage requiring service -- The DT-7000S should be

serviced by qualified service personnel when:

· The power cord or plug has been damaged

· Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the tuner

· The tuner has been exposed to rain or water

· The tuner does not appear to operate normally by

following the instructions in this manual.

· The tuner has been dropped, or its chassis damaged.

· The tuner exhibits a marked change in performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding -- If an outside antenna is con-

nected to the DT-7000S, be sure the antenna system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against volt-

age surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the

National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 provides informa-

tion 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 ground-

ing electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-

trode. See the illustration below.

Power lines -- An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other

electric light or power circuits, or 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 might be fatal.

Replacement parts -- When replacement parts are required,

be sure the service technician has used replacement

parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same

characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substi-

tutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Attachments -- Only use attachments specified by

Kenwood with the DT-7000S.

Accessories -- Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, or

bracket recommended

by Kenwood or sold with

the DT-7000S. Do not

place the tuner on an

unstable cart, stand,

tripod, bracket or table.

When a cart is used,

use caution when mov-

ing it to avoid tip-overs

that can cause injuries.

DT-7000S Instruction Manual

About the RS-232C

connection:

The RS-232C connection is

provided

allow

the

DT-7000S to be controlled by

compatible 3rd-party control

systems.

Kenwood

recom-

mends that this connection

only be used by experienced

professional system installers.

DO NOT connect the RS-232C

connection to a computer--it is

NOT COMPATIBLE with person-

al computers.

Due to the paths of the SIRIUS satellites

over the US, the best location for the

antenna will depend on what part of the

country you live in, the orientation of your

home, and the locations of any obstruc-

tions that could prevent the satellite sig-

nal from reaching the antenna.

The best antenna location is

on the roof, facing straight up

(A, right).

· The location of the "X" on the map

must be visible to the antenna.

The second best antenna

location is on an outside wall

(B C, right).

Use an appropriate wall, depending on

where you live (refer to the map). The

location of the "X" on the map must be

visible to the antenna.

· Mount the antenna facing as close to

straight up as possible (

B, right).

· To minimize interference caused by

roof extensions, mount the antenna as

low on the wall as possible while avoid-

ing other obstructions (

C, right).

The third best antenna loca-

tion is at a window (D, right).

Use an appropriate window, depending

on where you live (refer to the map). The

location of the "X" on the map must be

visible to the antenna.

· Place the antenna midway between the

left and right window frames.

· Tilt the hinged part of the antenna back

to aim it towards the sky.

Note: Objects such as the following can

prevent the antenna from receiving the

satellite signal when placed at a window

or on an outside wall: · roof extensions

·the window frame ·metallic window

screens or tinting ·objects in the window

·nearby objects like trees, foliage or

buildings.

If the signal is blocked from getting to the

antenna, the antenna must be relocated

to a more appropriate window, an outside

wall free of obstructions, or on the roof.
