12 Grounding or Polarization — This product may be 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 revers-
ing 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.
13 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 at-
tention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
14 Lightning — For added protection for this product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and dis-
connect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent dam-
age to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
15 Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be lo-
cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16 Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17 Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind
into this product through openings as they may touch dan-
gerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in
a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.
18 Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to danger-
ous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.

wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions as an im-
proper adjustment of other controls may result in dam-
age and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance - this indicates a need for service.
20 Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteris-
tics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may re-
sult in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
