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 unused 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

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 - When
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.
