below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
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
ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one
way. If the plug doesn't fit one way, try reversing it. It the plug
still doesn't fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. 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
disconnecting 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 electric
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 tora
long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.
6. Attachments and accessories--Use only the attachments and
accessories recommended in these operating instructions.
4. Outdoor antenna grounding--If you connect an outdoor
antenna, ground the antenna system to protect against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 81g of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information
about 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 requiremen'_s for the
grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.
