your home, consult your appliance 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 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 elec-

trician to replace your obsolete outlet.Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the polarized plug.

and the point where they exit from the appliance.

14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the video product,be sure the antenna

or cable system 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 No.70, provides

information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure,grounding of the lead-in wire to an anten-

na discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode.(Fig.A)

15.Lightning - For added protection for this video product dur-

ing a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time,unplug it from the wall out-

let and disconnect the antenna or cable system.This will

prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and

power-line surges.

16.Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be locat-

ed 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.

17.Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18.Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind

into this video product through any 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.

19.Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video product

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards.Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

20.Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this video product from

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel under the following conditions:

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