¶
If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding
type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it 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 replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding type plug.
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
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING -- If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the product,
be sure the antenna 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. See Figure A.
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.
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 circuits as contact
with them might be fatal.
OVERLOADING -- Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

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.

If the plug provided is unsuitable for
your socket outlets, the plug must be
cut off and a suitable plug fitted.
The cutoff plug should be disposed of
and must not be inserted into any 13
amp socket as this can result in
electric shock. The plug or adaptor of
the distribution panel should be
provided with a 5 amp fuse. As the
colours of the wires in the mains lead
of this appliance may not correspond
with coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
black.
The wire which is coloured brown
must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.
Do not connect either wire to the
earth terminal of a three-pin plug.
NOTE
After replacing or changing a fuse,
the fuse cover in the plug must be
replaced with a fuse cover which
corresponds to the colour of the
insert in the base of the plug or the
word that is embossed on the base
of the plug, and the appliance must
not be used without a fuse cover. If
lost, replacement fuse covers can be
obtained from your dealer.
