vice and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility
of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is
not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any
other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the

tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8.Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table.The product may fall, causing seri-
ous injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appli-
ance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-
ommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the manufacturer's
instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufac-
turer. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9.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.

10. 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
appliance dealer or local power company. For products intend-
ed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This product is 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 polar-
ized plug.

12. 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 appliance.

13. 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 No. 70, provides infor-
mation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup-

porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of anten-
na-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig.A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a light-

ning 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.

15. 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 cir-
cuits.When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords

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

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into

this product through any 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.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt-
age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under

mal operation.

f.When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this

indicates a need for service.

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, elec-
tric shock or other hazards.
