9.Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ven- tilation. For example, the appliance should not be situ- ated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installa- tion, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

15.Power Lines— An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

16.Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against volt- age surges and built up static charges.

See Fig. 1.

A.The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B.Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appli- ance; or

C.The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

D.The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
