manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

10. 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 supply to 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.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

This 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 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. LIGHTNING

To protect your product 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 product

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

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 fire or electric

shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid on the

product.

17. 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.

18. REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician uses replacement parts specified by

the manufacturer or those that have the same

characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other

hazards.

19. 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.

20. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only

as recommended by the manufacturer.

21. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug the 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 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.

22. HEAT

The product should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other

products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

23. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system

installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in

particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be

connected to the grounding system of the building, as

close to the point of cable entry as practical.

24. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be

sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide

some protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect

to proper grounding of the mast and supporting

structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge product, size of grounding conductors,

location of antenna discharge product, connection to

grounding electrodes and requirements for grounding

electrodes.
