10 Power Sources

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 product 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 product may be 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 receptacles, and the point where

they exit from the product.

13 Protective Attachment Plug

The product is equipped with an attachment plug having overload protection. This is a

safety feature. See Instruction Manual for replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is required,

be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload protection

as the original plug.

14 Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected

to the 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 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding

of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-

charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna–discharge unit, connec-

tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure

131.1.

15 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 lines surges.

16 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.

17 Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of

fire or electric shock.

18 Object and Liquid Entry

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.

19 Servicing

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt-

age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20 Damage Requiring Service

under the following conditions:
