See figure:

10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation

of the product and to protect it from overheating,

and 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 not be placed in a built-in

installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper

ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instruction

have been adhered to.

11. 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

instruction.

12. 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

polarizes plug.

14. 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.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna

is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna 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 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:

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension

cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

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.

20. 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.

21. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the product,

c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

d) 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 its normal

operation.

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any

way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance - this indicates a need for service.

22. 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.
