IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure
reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
source. This product 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
