6. ATTACHMENTS
Do not use attachments not recommended by the product's
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not use this product near water–for example: Near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near
a swimming pool.
8. ACCESSORIES
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury
and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
8A. 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.
9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the
back or bottom are provided for ventilation,
to ensure reliable operation of the product
and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
source. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES
This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This 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 still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
12. 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 attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your product from a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
14. 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, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of
liquid on the product.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electric 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
product, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge product, connection to grounding electrodes and
requirements for grounding electrodes.
18. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or
other hazards.
20. SAFETY CHECK
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.
21. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
22. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
Unplug the product from the 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 adjustment of other controls
may result in damage 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 the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance–this
indicates a need for service.
23. HEAT
The product should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
24. 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.
