cover these
openings.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the prod-
uct on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Do

I [. 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.
12. Grounding or 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 revers-
ing
the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your
electri-
cian
to replace your obsolete
Outlet. Do
not defeat the safe-
ty purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection - Route power supply cords so
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.
14. 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 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.
See
figure at
right.
15. 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 dis-
connect the antenna or cable system.
This will
prevent dam-
age
to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. 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, take extreme care to keep it from touching such
power lines or circuits; contact with them might be fatal
17. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this product through openings; they may touch danger-
ous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
19. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this 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 spilled or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the prod-
uct to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way,
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance. This indicates a need for service.

fied by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
