9. VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom

are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable

operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheat-

ing. These openings must not be blocked or

covered. The openings should never be blocked by

placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar

surface. This unit should never be placed near or

over a radiator or heat source. This unit 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 unit should be operated only from the type of

power source indicated on the rating plate. If you

are not sure of the type of power supply to your

home, consult your appliance dealer or local power

company. For units intended to operate from battery

power, or other sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

This unit 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, if your unit is equipped with a 3-wire

grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (ground-

ing) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type

power outlet. This too, 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.

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. LIGHTNING

To protect your unit from 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 unit due to lightning and power line

surges.

14. 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.

15. OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as

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

16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not push objects through any openings in this unit,

as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short

out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never

spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected

to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded 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 respect to proper ground-

ing 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.

18. SERVICING

Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all

servicing to qualified service personnel.
