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 of plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the unit.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the video unit, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to ground-
ing electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See figure below.
17. OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS - Never push objects
of any kind into this video unit through open-
ings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids of any
kind onto the unit. Should spillage occur,
unplug unit and have it checked by a tech-
nician before use.
18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this
video unit yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to a dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-
fied service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this
video unit 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 any liquid has been spilled onto or
objects have fallen into the video unit.
c. If the video unit has been exposed to rain
or water.
d. If the video unit does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore
the video unit to its normal operation.
e. If the video unit has been dropped or the
cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the video unit exhibits a distinct
change in performance—this indicates a
need for service.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service techni-
cian has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those having the same
characteristics as the original part. Unautho-
rized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this video unit ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the video unit is in safe
operating order.
22. HEAT - This video unit should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
14. LIGHTNING - For added protection of this
video unit 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 video unit due to
lightning and power line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of over-
head power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, 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.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets
and extension cords as this can result in the
risk of fire or electric shock.
