The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

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 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 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, tripod, 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 recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video
product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a
mounting 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 overturn.
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 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 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 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 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)
