IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
When using your home terminal, you must follow these basic
safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and
injury to persons.
Read, understand and follow instructions
Read and understand all the safety instructions before you
operate your home terminal.
Heed warnings
Adhere to all warnings and instructions marked on your home
terminal and in these safety and operating instructions.
Power sources
You must operate your home terminal only from the type of
power source indicated on the rear panel of your home
terminal. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. This plug fits into the socket in only one
way; match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for
your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protection of the power cord
Route power-supply cords so that they are unlikely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon them or against
them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they leave your home
terminal.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
Lightning
For added protection for your home terminal 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
and cable system. This prevents your home terminal from being
damaged by lightning and power-line surges.
Placement and mounting
Do not place your home terminal on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket or table. Your home terminal may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult and serious damage to your home terminal. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with your home terminal. If you do mount
your home terminal, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. If you
mount your home terminal to a wall or ceiling, do so only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
