6. Attachments—Do not use attachments that are not recommended by the product manu-

facturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture—Do not use this 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.

8. Accessories—Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

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

to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the

manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the

manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

9. A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

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 similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in

installation such as bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufac-

turer'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 supplied to your

home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to oper-

ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization—This product may be equipped with a polarized alternat-

ingcurrent 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. Alternate Warnings—If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type

plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, the plug will only fit into a grounding-type power

outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

grounding-type 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 receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

product.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

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.

The lightning flash with arrow head symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to

alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's

enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to

persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. DO NOT OPEN THE CABINET, REFER

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH AN

EXTENSION CORD RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN

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 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup-

porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of ground-

ing conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and

requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

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.

16. Power Lines—An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over-

head power lines, other electric light or power circuits, where it can fall into such power lines

or circuits.

17. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience

receptacles 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 product through open-

ings 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.

19. Servicing—Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing cov-

ers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified

service personnel.

20. 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, 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 adjust-

ment 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 damaged in any way, and

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for

service.

21. Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service techni-

cian has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteris-

tics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other

hazards.

22. 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.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

24. Heat—The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
