1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instruc-

tions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future reference.

. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the

operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions

should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug this video product from the wall outlet

before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted

service and, that for some specific reason, such as the

possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV

converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for

cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference

to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description

otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended

by the video product manufacturer as they may cause

hazards.

7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product near

water, for example, near a bath tub, 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 video product on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video

product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,

and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a

cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the

manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mount-

ing of the appliance should follow the

manufacturer's instructions and should

use a mounting accessory recommended

by the manufacturer. An appliance and

cart combination should be moved with

care. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the appli-

ance and cart combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro-

vided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of

the video 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 video

product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This

video product should not be placed in a built-in installa-

tion 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 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 video 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 recep-

tacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

1. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA No. 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. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this video 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 video product due to lightning

and power-line 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 video product through any 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 video product.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video 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 video 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

video product.

c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video 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 video product to its

normal operation.

e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in

any way.

f. When the video 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 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 video product, ask the service technician to per-

form safety checks to determine that the video product is

in proper operating condition.

22. Heat - This video product should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
