9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are
provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable
operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheat-
ing. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the
unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat source. This unit 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.
10. POWER SOURCES
This unit should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is 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, if
your unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This
too, 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.
12. 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 appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from 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 unit due to lightning and power line surges.
14. 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.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit,
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never
spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of ground-
ing conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding electrode.
18. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
