GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
•If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the out- let only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable 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 purpose of the polarized plug.
| • If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type | Fig. A |
| power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete out- |
| |
| let. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug. | |
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 receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
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 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 electrode. See Figure B.
LIGHTNING: For added protection for this product during a lightening 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 product due to lightening and power-line surges.
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. | |
OVERLOADING: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric | |
shock. | |
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points | |
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. | |
SERVICING: Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other haz- | |
ards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. | Fig. B |
