9A product and cart combina- tion should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and un-

even surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabi- net are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable opera- tion of the product and to pro- tect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The open- ings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in in- stallation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventila- tion is provided or the manufacturerÕs instructions have been adhered to.

11Power Sources

This product should be oper- ated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power sup- ply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products in- tended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12Grounding 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 un- able 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 pur- pose 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 par- ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience recep- tacles, 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 struc- ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conduc- tors, location of antenna-dis- charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re- quirements for the grounding electrode.
