SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

15. OVERLOADING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. 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 fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid on the product.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro-

vide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National

Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and sup-

porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conduc-

tors, location of antenna discharge product, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for

grounding electrode.

20. SAFETY CHECK

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

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.

21. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

22. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the follow- ing conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been 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 adjustment o 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 the cabinet has been damaged. f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance–this

indicates a need for service.

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.

24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con- nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
