IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

15.Power-Cord Protection: Care must be taken to ensure that power supply cords are routed so as to avoid being damaged, such as by being walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. You should pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the product.

16.Protective Attachment Plug: The product may be equipped with an attachment plug with over- load protection. This is a safety feature. See the operating instructions for replacement or directions to reset the protective device. If replacement of the plug is required, please consult an authorized service technician, and make sure s/he has used a replacement plug that has the same overload protection as the original plug as specified by the manufacturer.

17.Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70 provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground- ing 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).

18.Lightning: Lightning can cause power surges, which may damage or destroy your product. For added protection, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. 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 touch- ing such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

19.Overloading: Always operate any electrical device in accordance with applicable electrical codes. Never overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of personal or property damage or injury, including fire or electric shock.

20.Servicing: Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may ex- pose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards, including the risk of injury or damage to persons or property. Your warranty will also be voided. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
