IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read Instructions-All the safety and operating instructions should be read

before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instructions should be re-

tained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instruc-

tions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning-Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

EXCEPTION : A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that
for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authoriza-
tion 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 appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommended by the video product

manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this video 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.

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

pod, bracket, or table. The video product may fall, causing serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table rec-
ommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video
product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mount-
ing accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 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 over-
turn.

9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation

and to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The open-
ings 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 manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to .

10. Power Sources-This video 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 intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. 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 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.

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 video 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 information with regard to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground-
ing electrode. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning-For added protection for this video 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 video product due to lightning and power-line surges.

15. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicin-

ity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where
it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside an-
tenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits 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 video

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 video product.

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

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

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

refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the video product.

c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the video 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 dam-
age and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the video product to its normal operation.

e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

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

dicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required, be sure the serv-

ice 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.

21. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this video prod-

uct, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
video product is in proper operating condition.

22. Heat-This video product should be situated away from heat sources such as

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