POWER CORD
Make
sure
power
cords are routed
so
that
they are not
likely
to
have
anything
rest
on
them,
roll
over them,
or
be
in
the
way
of
walking
traffic.
If
an
extension cord
is
used,
make

it
also
has
either
a
polarized or
grounded
plug
and
that
the
cords
can be
securely connected.
Frayed
cords,
damaged
plugs,
and
damaged
or
cracked
wire
insulation
are
hazardous and
should
be
replaced
by a
qualified
service technician.
Overloaded
outlets
and
extension cords are
fire
hazards and
should
be
avoided.

DO NOT BLOCK
VENTILATION
HOLES
Ventilation
openings
in
the cabinet release heat
generated
during operation.
If
they are blocked,
heat
build-up inside the
unit
can cause
failures that
may
result
in
a
fire
hazard
or heat
damage
to
cassettes.
For
protection, follow
these
rules:
a.
Never
cover
ventilation slots
or
the
unit
while
in
use. or
operate
the
unit
when
placed
on a
bed,
sofa,
rug,
or
other
soft
surface.
b.
Avoid
built-in installation,
such
as
a
book case
or
rack,
unless proper
ventilation
is
provided.
5
AVOID
EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES
Do
not place the
unit
over
or
near
any
kind
of
heater
or regulator,
in
direct sunlight,
inside
a closed
vehicle,
etc..
Do
not
move
the
unit
suddenly
between
areas
of
extreme temperature
variation.
If
the
unit
is
suddenly
moved
from
a
cold place
to
a
warm
place,
moisture
may
condense
in
the
unit
and on
the
tape.
6
TO
AVOID
PERSONAL
INJURY
•
Do
not place
unsecured equipment
on
a sloping
surface.
•
Do
not place
this unit
on any
support
that

not
firm, level,
and
adequately
strong.
The
unit
could
fall
causing
serious
injury to
a
child
or
adult
and
damage
to
the
unit.
•
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.

SAFE
ANTENNA AND CABLE CONNECTION
If
an
outside
antenna
or
cable
system
is
connected
to
the
equipment,
be
sure
the
antenna
or cable
system
is
grounded so as
to
provide
some
protection
against
built
up
static
charges
and
voltage surges.
Section
810
of
the National
Electrical
Code,
ANSI/NFPA
70
(in
Canada,
pad
1
of
the
Canadian
Electrical
Code)
provides
information
with
respect
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.
KEEP
ANTENNA CLEAR OF
HIGH
VOLTAGE
POWER
LINES
OR
CIRCUITS
An
outside
antenna system
should
be
located
well
away
from
power
lines,
electric
light
or
power
circuits
and where
it
will
never
come
into
contact with
these
power
sources
if it
should
happen
to
fall.
When
installing
an
outside
antenna,
extreme
care should
be
taken
to
avoid touching
power
lines, circuits
or
other
power
sources as
this
could
be
fatal.
Because
of
the
hazards
involved,
antenna
installation
should
be
left
to
a
professional.
