operating instructions.
Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before

aerosol cleaners.
Attachments — Do not use attachments/accessories not
recommended by the product manufacturer, as they might create a
hazard.
Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water (for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a
wet basement; or near a swimming pool).
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. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for mounting, and use a recommended mounting
accessory.
Carts — Move the product on a cart carefully.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the product/cart to overturn.
Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation,
ensure reliable operation, and protect from overheating. Do not block
or cover these openings, and do not place the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. Do not place the product in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless it provides proper
ventilation as specified by the manufacturer.
Power Sources — Operate this product using only the power
source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home's
power type, consult your product dealer or local power company.
Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit
in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
still doesn't fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you need an
extension, use a polarized cord.
Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
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.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
Objects and Liquids — 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 a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
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.
Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product.
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
• 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 adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
