IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated, and should be retained for future reference. Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installa- tion, use and servicing.

12 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 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 support- ing 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 ground- ing electrode.

1Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

2Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

3Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

4Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

•An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

5Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

6Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

7Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

8Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

9Power-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, conven- ience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

10 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

11Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
