Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet provide
ventilation, ensure reliable operation, and protect from
overheating. Do not block or cover these openings, and do not
place the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless it provides proper ventilation as
specified by the manufacturer.
Power Sources
Operate this product using only the power
source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of
your home's power type, consult your product dealer or local
power company.
Polarization
This product is equipped with a polarized AC
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you need an extension,
use a polarized cord.
Power-Cord Protection
Route power-supply cords so they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on
or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
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.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids
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. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
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.

to restore the product to normal operation.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
