1. Power source--Connect
the unit to a power source of the type
described
in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization--The
unit is equipped with a polarized power plug
where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature en-
sures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesn't fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug
still doesn't fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete out-
let. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord
protection--Route
the AC power supply cord so
that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against
it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and discon-
necting it.
4. Overloading--When
connecting the AC power supply cord, be
careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord,
or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or elec-
tric shock.
5. Nonuse periods--Turn
the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug
the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a
long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.
6. Attachments
and accessories--Use
only the attachments
and
accessories
recommended
in these operating instructions.
Placement
]
1. Ventilation--Situate
the unit so that it receives proper ventila-
tion. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or
cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear
of the unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to
overheating
ensure curtains and other materials do not obstruct
the unit's ventilation.
2. Foreign
material--Ensure
objects and liquids do not get into
the unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, me-
chanical vibration, and shock.
3. Magnetism--Situate
the unit away from equipment and devices
that generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking--Do
not place heavy objects on top of this unit.
5. Surface--Place
the unit on a flat, level surface.
6. Carts and stands--Use
the unit only with carts
and stands
recommended
by the manufacturer.
Move carts with care. Sudden
stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces
can cause carts to
overturn.
7. Wall and ceiling
mounting--Do
not mount the unit on walls or
ceilings unless specified in the instructions.
Environment
]
1. Water and moisture--Do
not use the unit near water, such as
near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.
Heat--Situate
the unit away
from
heat
sources,
such
as
radiators.
Do not situate where temperatures
fall below 5°C (41°F) or rise
above 35°C (95°F).

Power lines--Take
care when setting up an outdoor antenna
that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or electri-
cal circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna falling on
power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits. When installing
an outdoor antenna, take extreme care not to touch such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.
Outdoor
antenna
grounding--If
you connect an outdoor an-
tenna,
ground the antenna
system
to protect against
voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990,
provides information
about grounding
of the mast and supporting structure,
ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge
unit, size of
grounding
conductors,
location of antenna-discharge
unit, con-
nection
to grounding
electrodes,
and requirements
for the
grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.
