14.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

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

15.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.

16.Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17.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.

18.Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product 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 this product from the wall outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper ajustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and if the product 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 has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

21.Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the

service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

22.Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

23.Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
