fire hazard.
- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should
be replaced by a qualified electrician.

4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat

generated during operation. If blocked, heat

build-up may result in a lire hazard or heat

damage to cassettes.

regulator, in direct sunlight, inside closed vehicles,
in high temperature [over 95“F (SS^C)], or in over

75% humidity. If unit is suddenly moved from a

cold place to a warm one, moisture may condense
in unit and on the tape causing damage.
Never subject unit to vibration, impact, or place it
so that the surface is tilted as internal parts may

be seriously damaged.

6 TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

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 Ihe grounding electrode.

KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES

OR CIRCUITS
Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines and
electric light or power circuits so it will never touch these power sources
should it ever fall. When installing antenna, absolutely never touch
power lines, circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal.
