12. 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 appliance.
13.	LIGHTNING
	To protect your unit from 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 unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
14.	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.
15.	OVERLOADING
	Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
	Do not push objects through any openings in this unit as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
	result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17.	OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
	If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
	provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
	ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect 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 grounding electrode.
18.	SERVICING
	Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
	hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19.	DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
	Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
	a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
	b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
	c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
	d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust						only those controls that are covered by the
		operating instructions, as an adjustment of	other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
		qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.
	e.	If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
	f.	When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
20.	REPLACEMENT PARTS
	When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
	those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or
	other hazards.
