9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the

ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating. These openings

should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This
product should never be placed near or over a

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is

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 appliance
dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This product is equipped with a polarized alter-
nating-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 fea-
ture. 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.
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 par-
ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your product 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 product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be locat-
ed 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
Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous
