mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9A product and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive
force, and un-
even surfaces
may cause the
product and
cart combina-
tion to over-
turn.
10 Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings
must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on
a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This product should not
be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer’s instructions
have been adhered to.
11 Power Sources
This 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 product dealer
or local power company. For
products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
12 Grounding or Polarization
This 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 should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to re-
place your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
13 Power-Cord Protection
Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles, and the point where they
exit from the product.
14 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable sys-
tem is connected to the product,
be sure the antenna or cable sys-
tem is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard
to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connec-
tion to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding
electrode.
15 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.
