Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Powerline operated equipment or accessories connected to this
unit should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not
have been modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard
from electric shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.
10 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.
11 Accessories -- Do not place this video product on an unstable card, 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 mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
11A An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
12 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 No. 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 example below:
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
13 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 or approaching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna
installer.
