3 POWER CORD |
Make sure power cords are routed so that they |
are not likely to have anything rest on them, roll |
over them, or be in the way of walking traffic. |
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also |
has either a polarized or grounded plug and that |
the cords can be securely connected. Frayed |
2KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines, electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.

cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked |
wire insulation are hazardous and should be |
replaced by a qualified service technician. |
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire |
hazards and should be avoided. |
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES |
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat |
generated during operation. If they are blocked, |
heat |
that may result in a fire hazard or heat damage |
to cassettes. For protection, follow these rules: |
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while |
in use, or operate the unit when placed on a |
bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. |
b. Avoid |
case or rack, unless proper ventilation is |
provided. |
5 AVOID EXTREMELY HOT LOCATIONS OR |
SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES |
Do not place the unit over or near any kind of |
heater or radiator, in direct sunlight, inside a |
closed vehicle, etc.. Do not move the unit |
suddenly between areas of extreme temperature |
variation. If the unit is suddenly moved from a |
cold place to a warm place, moisture may |
condense in the unit and on the tape. |
6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY |
• Do not place unsecured |
equipment on a sloping |
surface.
• Do not place this unit on any support that is not firm, level, and adequately strong. The unit could fall causing serious injury to a child or adult and damage to the unit.
• An appliance and cart combination should be |
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, |
and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance |
3 DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM | ||
| During a lightning storm, whether indoors or outdoors, or | |
| before leaving the unit unused for extended periods of time, | |
| disconnect all equipment from the power source as well as | |
| the antenna and cable system. | |
4 WHEN THE UNIT IS PLUGGED IN | ||
| • | Never expose the unit to rain or water. DO NOT |
|
| OPERATE if liquid has been spilled into the unit. |
|
| Immediately unplug the unit, and have it inspected by a |
|
| service technician. Fire and shock hazards can result from |
|
| electrical shorts caused by liquid contact inside. |
| • | Never drop or push any object through openings in the |
|
| unit. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages and |
|
| contact can cause electric shock or fire hazard. |
| • | Avoid placing the unit directly above or below your TV set |
|
| as this may cause electrical interference. Keep all |
|
| magnets away from electronic equipment. |
5 | USING ACCESSORIES | |
| Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer to | |
| avoid risk of fire, shock, or other hazards. | |
6 | CLEANING THE UNIT | |
| Unplug the unit. Then, use a clean, dry, chemically | |
| untreated cloth to gently remove dust or debris. DO NOT | |
| USE cleaning fluids, aerosols, or forced air that could over- | |
| spray, or seep into the unit and cause electrical shock. Any | |
| substance such as wax, adhesive tape, etc. may mar the | |
| cabinet surface. Exposure to greasy, humid, or dusty areas | |
| may adversely affect internal parts. | |
