mended by the product manufacturer as they may cause

hazards.

3. Water and Moisture This product shall not be exposed

to dripping and splashing - for example, near a bath tub, wash

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

a swimming pool; and the like. Do not place an object con-

taining liquid, such as a flower vase, on the appliance.

4. Accessories Do not place this product on an unstable

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. Any mounting of

the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions,

and should use a mounting accessory recom-

mended by the manufacturer.

A product and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and un-

even surfaces may cause the product and cart

combination to overturn.

5. Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro-

vided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the

product and to protect it from overheating, and these open-

ings 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 installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper

ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have

been adhered to.

6. Power Sources This product should be operated only

from the type of power source indicated on the product. If

you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,

consult your product dealer or local power company.

CAUTION - 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 electri-

cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

8. 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 at-

tention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the

point where they exit from the product.

9. Lightning For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.

10. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension

cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result

in a risk of fire or electric shock.

11. 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 liquid of any kind on the

product.

12.Servicing Do not attempt to service this product your-

self as opening or removing covers may expose you to dan-

gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-

fied service personnel.

13.Damage Requiring Service Unplug this product from

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service person-

nel 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 following

the operating instructions.

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any

way, and

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

formance this indicates a need for service.

g) If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected.

14.Replacement Parts When replacement parts are re-

quired, be sure the service technician has used replacement

parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same char-

acteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may

result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

15.Safety Check Upon completion of any service or re-

pairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform

safety checks to determine that the product is in proper oper-

ating condition.

16.Wall or Ceiling Mounting This product should be

mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the

manufacturer.

17. Heat This product should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

products that produce heat. Do not place a flaming object,

such as a candle or lantern, or near the product.

18.Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other elec-

tric 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 circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

19.Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the product, be sure the an-

tenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

provides information with regard to proper grounding of the

mast and supporting structure, 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 the grounding electrode.
