7. Wall or Coining Mounting— The ap¬
pliance should be mounted to a wall or
ceilling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
8. Ventilation—The appilance should be situated so that its location
or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example,
the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow
of air through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat— The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Source*— The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.
11. Grounding or Polarization— The precautions that should be taken
so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not
defeated.
12. Power-Cord Protection— Power-supply cords should be routed
so that thay 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 thay exit from the
appliance.
13. Cleaning— The appliance should be cleaned only as recom¬
mended by the manufacturer.
14. Nonuse Periods— The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
15. Object and Liquid Entry— Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
16. Damage Requiring Service— The appliance should be serviced
by qualified factory authorized service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Servicing— The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing
should be referred to qualified factory authorized service personnel.

PERSONNEL.
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 appliance.
Power Line# - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected
to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA
No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper ground¬
ing of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding con¬
ductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to ground¬
ing electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure.
a- Use No. 10 AWG ( 5.3 mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG ( 8.4 mm2)
aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze
wire, or larger, as a ground wire,
b- Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand
-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart,
o- Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where
lead-in enters house.
d-Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2)
copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding
electrode is used.
