mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
8A.
9. Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation, 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
adhered to.
10. 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 power supply to your home, consult your appliance
supplier or local power company. For video products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
11. Polarization — This product may be 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard 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 Fig.A.

14. 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 surges.
15. 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 system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.
16. Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. 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 product.
18. 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.
19. Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled on, 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 improper adjustment of 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.
20. Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or which have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
21. Safety Check — 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.
22. Carts and Stands — The appliance should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
