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
openings 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 ventila-
tion 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 discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding 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
vicinity 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
antenna 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 open-
ing 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 out-
let and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
