Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these safety
instructions completely before operating the
appliance, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and
instructions on the appliance, or the one described in
the operating instructions and adhere to them.
Use
Installation
Power sources
This set should be operated only
from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of
electrical power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
For those sets designed to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other),
or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug
having a third pin for grounding). Follow the
instructions below:
For the set with a polarized ac power cord
plug:
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 have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug by forcing it in.
For the set with a three-wire grounding
type ac plug:
This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into
the set 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 set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall
outlet before cleaning or polishing
it. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth
lightly dampened with water for
cleaning the exterior of the set.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets
near water - for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is
not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits
from the appliance.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The set may
fall, causing serious injury to a
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use
only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots
and openings must never be blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots and
openings with a cloth or other
materials.
• Never block the slots and
openings by placing the set on
a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface.
