PLEASE READ ALL OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. RETAIN THIS LITERATURE FOR REFERENCE. Follow all instructions...
Positioning the Appliance
1. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table. Serious
injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result if it should
fall. Your salesperson can recommend approved carts and
stands or shelf and wall mounting instructions. An appliance and
cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, exces-
sive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The open-
ings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom
openings should not be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This appliance should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This appliance should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
3. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example, near
a bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.
Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna
LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
ACCORDING TO NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE,
ANSI/NFPA 70
"Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical."
4. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and support-
ing 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.
An outside antenna system should not be located 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 cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Plug in the power cord
5. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indi-
cated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. This
product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a
third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service technician's
assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that have the
same characteristics as the original parts were used, and that routine safety
checks have been performed to determine that the appliance is in safe oper-
ating condition. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical
shock, or other hazards.
