The openings should never be blocked by placing the prod- uct on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place this product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manu- facturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

12.Grounding or Polarization – This 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 revers- ing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electri- cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safe- ty purpose of the polarized plug.

See figure at right.

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 dis- connect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent dam- age to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
