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 supply to your
home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company. For video
products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
: This video
product is equipped with a polar-
ized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than
the other). This plug will fi t 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 fi t, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the polarized plug.
Alternate Warnings
: This video product
is equipped with a three-wire ground-
ing-type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only fi t
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.
Overloading
: Do not overload wall out-
lets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.
Ventilation
: Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation,
to ensure reliable operation of the
video product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by
placing the video product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This video product should not be
placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manu-
facturer’s instructions have been ad-
hered to. This video product should
never be placed near or over a radia-
tor or heat register.
Attachments

not recommended by the video
product manufacturer as they may
cause hazards.

eo product near water—for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement,
or near a swimming pool, and the like.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding
: If an
outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the video product, be
sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some pro-
tection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70, provides information
with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, 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 require-
ments for the grounding electrode.
