may fall, causing serious
injury and serious damage to
the unit.
An appliance and cart
combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
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 overheating. 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 SOURCE
This unit should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the rating plate lf 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 respective pages in this User Manual for their
operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (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, Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug,
your unit may be 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 ling 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 onto or against such
power lies 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 8 10 of the National
Electrical Code (NEC), 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 grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
