equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the

presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the

product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude

to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is

intended to alert the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in

the literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE

COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or

near a swimming pool; and the like.

8) Accessories - Do not place this product on an unsta-

ble cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product

may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and

serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the

manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting

of the product should follow the manufacturer's

instructions, and should use a mounting accessory

recommended by the manufacturer.

9) A product and cart combination

should be moved with care. Quick

stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the product

and cart combination to overturn.

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 instal-

lation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ven-

tilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions

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 oper-

ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the

operating instructions.

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 polarized plug.

13) 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 at plugs, convenience recep-

tacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

14) Lightning - For added protection for this product dur-

ing a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the

wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product

due to lightning and power-line surges.

15) 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 cir-

cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

16) Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension

cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17) Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any

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 liq-

uid of any kind on the product.

18) 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.

19) 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 follow-

ing the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating instruc-

tions as an improper adjustment of other controls

may result in damage and will often require exten-

sive 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.

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in per-

formance - this indicates a need for service.

20) 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.

21) Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or

repairs to this product, ask the service technician to

perform safety checks to determine that the product

is in proper operating condition.
