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 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.

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

attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit

from the product.

14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected

to the product, be sure the antenna or cable

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 regard to proper grounding

of the mast and supporting structure,

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

15)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 disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

16)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.

17)Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or electric shock.

18)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 a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
