ELECTRICAL pRECAUTIONS

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION

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.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an

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.

READ INSTRUCTIONS —

 All the safety and operating

instructions should be read before the product is

operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS — 

The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future reference.

HEED WARNINgS

 — All warnings on the product and

in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

fOLLOW  INSTRUCTIONS  —

  All  operating  and  use

instructions should be followed.

CLEANINg —

 The product should be cleaned only with

a polishing cloth or a soft dry cloth. Never clean with

furniture wax, benzine, insecticides or other volatile

liquids since they may corrode the cabinet.

ATTACHmENTS  —

  Do  not  use  attachments  not

recommended by the product manufacturer as they

may cause hazards.

WATER AND mOISTURE —

 Do not use this product

near water — for example, near a bathtub, wash

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

or near a swimming pool; and the like.

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, 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.

CART  —

  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.

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 installation such as a bookcase or

rack  unless  proper  ventilation  is  provided  or  the

manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

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.

LOCATION

  –  The  appliance  should  be  installed  in  a

stable location.

NONUSE pERIODS

 – The power cord of the appliance

should be unplugged from the outlet when left un-

used for a long period of time.

gROUNDINg OR pOLARIZATION

If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than

the other), it will fit into the 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.

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.

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.

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.

DAmAgE REQUIRINg SERVICE  - 

Unplug this product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified

service personnel under the following conditions:

When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the product.

If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

If the product does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions as an

improper adjustment of other controls may result in

damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualified  technician  to  restore  the  product  to  its

normal operation.

If the product has been dropped or damaged in any

way.

When  the  product  exhibits  a  distinct  change  in

performance — this indicates a need for service.

REpLACEmENT  pARTS  --

 W hen  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.

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.

WALL OR CEILINg mOUNTINg —

 The product should

not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

HEAT — 

The product should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce

heat.
