placed upon or against them. Pay particular atten-
tion to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.
POLARIZATION - This video product is 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 reversing the plug. If
the plug should stilt fail to fit, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not de-
feat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
LIGHTNING - For added protection for this video pro-
duct receiver during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-
nect the antenna or cable system, This will pre-
vent damage to the video product clue to light-
ning and power-line surges,
POWER LINES - 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, ex-
treme care should be taken to keep from touch-
ing such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in the risk of
fire or electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects
of any kind into this video product through open-
ings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
video product.
SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this video
product yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel.

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is dam-
aged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen
into the video product.
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain
or water.
d. If the video product does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions. Adjust only

cal Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 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-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
