Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the video product, 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 Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984 (Section 54 of

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1)

provides information with respect to proper grounding of

the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your video
product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is your
responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to assure your enjoyment
and proper use of the video product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully
before operating and using your video product.

Installation

1Read and Follow Instructions- All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the
video product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.
2Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3Heed Warnings-Comply with all warnings on the video product and in the operating instructions.
4Polarization- This video 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 unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. To prevent
electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet
unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure. If you need an extension cord, use
a polarized cord.
5Power Sources-This video product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
6
Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets of extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked
wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire harzard.
Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation,
