12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized

alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power 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 the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is

connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.  Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard 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.  See Figure A.

16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,

or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.  This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

17. 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.

18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

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.

20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or

removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and

refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions.  Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this

indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,

ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or
