overturn.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SERVICING – Do not attempt to service this

appliance yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to your cable company.

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.

SAFETY CHECK – Upon completion of any

service or repairs to this appliance, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the appliance is in proper
operating condition.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE – Unplug this

appliance from the wall outlet and call your
cable company under the following
conditions:

÷

When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.

÷

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the appliance.

÷

If the appliance has been exposed to rain or
water.

÷

If the appliance does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore
the appliance to its normal operation.

÷

If the appliance has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.

÷

When the appliance exhibits a distinct
change in performance – this indicates a
need for service.

POLARIZATION – This unit's power cord has a

polarized plug (one blade is 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.

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. Pay particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.

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 respect 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
Figure A.

LIGHTNING – For added protection for the unit

during a lightning storm, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the cable system
input. This will prevent damage due to
lightning and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING – Do not overload wall outlets

and extension cords as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY – Never push objects

of any kind into this appliance 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 appliance.

VENTILATION – Slots and openings in the

cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure
reliable operation of the appliance and to
protect it from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. They should
never be blocked by placing the appliance
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This appliance should never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register. This
appliance 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.

POWER SOURCES – The appliance should be

operated only on the voltage indicated on
the product label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power
company.
