example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a 
wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

7.   Accessories

 – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, 

tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to 
a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a 
cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, 
or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow 
manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory 
recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation

 – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for 

ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the 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 product 
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not 
be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless 
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have 
been adhered to.

9.  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 supply to your home, consult your product dealer or 
local power company. For products intended to operate from battery 
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

10. Grounding and 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.

11. Power-Cord Protection

 – Power supply cords should be routed so that 

they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or 
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

12. 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 
systems. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and 
power-line surges.

13. Overloading

 – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or 

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

14. 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. Do not 
expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and ensure that no 
objects filled with water, such as vases, are placed on the apparatus.

15. 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.

16. Damage Requiring Service

 – Unplug this product from wall outlet and 

refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions:

•   When power supply cord or plug is damaged;

•   If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into product;

•   If the product has been exposed to rain or water;

•   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 require extensive work by a qualified 
technician to restore the product to its normal operation;

•  If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way;

•  If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this 

indicates a need for service.

17. Replacement Parts 

– When replacement parts are required, be sure 

the 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.

18. 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.

19. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

 – The product should be mounted to a wall 

or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

20.   Heat

 – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as 

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) 
that produce heat.
