and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10. 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 similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufac
-
turer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. 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 supplied to your
home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to oper
-
ate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization
—This product may be equipped with a polarized alternat
-
ingcurrent 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. Alternate Warnings—If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, the plug 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.
13. 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.
14. 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 sup
-
porting 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
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
15. 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.
16. Power Lines
—An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over
-
head power lines, other electric light or power circuits, where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits.
17. Overloading
—Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
—Never push objects of any kind into this product through open
-
ings 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.
19. Servicing
—Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing cov
-
ers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
—Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a.
When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c.
If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d.
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 adjust
-
ment 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,
e.
If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f.
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for
service.
21. Replacement Parts
—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service techni
-
cian has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteris
-
tics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
22. 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.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
—The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
