WATER AND MOISTURE

Do not use this video product near water- for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire

or electric shock.

VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked

by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product

should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

This video 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 fol- lowed.

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 receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

CLEANING

Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

LIGHTNING

For added protection of this video product receiver 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 video product due to lightning and power-line surges.

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 video product.

ACCESSORIES

Do not place this video product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.

The video product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage

to the appliance.

Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

CART

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combina- tion to overturn.

POWER SOURCES

This video 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 supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

For video products intended to be operated from bat- tery power, or other sources, refer

to the operating instructions.

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 sys- tem, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

POLARIZATION

This video 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 replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

In the U.S.A section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding 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 the figure below.

ATTACHMENTS

Do not use attachments not recommended

by the video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

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.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts spec- ified by the manufacturer or having the same charac- teristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitu- tions may result in fire, electric shock or other haz- ards.
