3
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.
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.
Polarization
This set may be equipped with a polarized ac power
cord 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 have a suitable outlet installed. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
forcing it in.
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.
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.
– Never place the set in a confined space, such as a
bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.
– Do not place the set near or over a radiator or heat
register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
