3.Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the op- erating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5.Water and Moisture – The appliance should not be used near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

6.Carts and Stands – The appliance

should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufac- turer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven sur-

faces may cause the appliance and cart S3125A combination to overturn.

7.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted

 

to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8.

Ventilation – The appliance should be situated so that its loca-

 

tion or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For

 

example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa,

 

rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings;

 

or if placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabi-

 

net that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation open-

 

ings, there should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an

 

opening behind the appliance.

9.

Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources

 

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (in-

 

cluding amplifiers) that produce heat.

10.

Power Sources – The appliance should be connected to a power

 

supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or

 

as marked on the appliance.

11.

Polarization – If the appliance is provided with a polarized

 

plug having one blade wider than the other, please read the

 

following information:

 

The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The polarized

 

plug will only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit

14.Power Lines – An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

15.Nonuse Periods – The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

16.Object and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

17.Damage Requiring Service – The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A.The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B.Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or

C.The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

D.The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E.The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

18.Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

19.Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is con- nected 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 regard 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-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec- trode. See Figure 1.

fully into the outlet, try reversing it. If there is still trouble, the

user should seek the services of a qualified electrician. Under

no circumstances should the user attempt to defeat the

polarization of the plug.
