Power Sources
This set should be operated
only from the type of power
source indicated on the
serial/model plate.
If you are not sure of the
type of electrical power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating
instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power
cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a
plug having a third pin for grounding).
Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a
polarized AC power
cord plug
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 have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug by forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a
three-wire grounding
type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding
plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or
convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since
this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Always turn the set off when
it is not to be used. When the
set is left unattended and
unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall
outlet as a precaution against
the possibility of an internal malfunction that
could create a fire hazard.
Object and Liquid
Entry
Never push objects of any
kind into the set through the
cabinet slots 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 set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may
cause hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall
outlet before cleaning or
polishing it. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampened with water for
cleaning the exterior of the
set.
