instructions should be adhered to.

Follow Instructions

 – All operating and use instructions should be 

followed.

1.  

Cleaning

 – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before 

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a 
damp cloth for cleaning.

2.  

Attachments

 – Do not use attachments not recommended by 

the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

3.   Water and Moisture

 – This product shall not be exposed to 

dripping and splashing – for example, near a bath tub, wash 
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a

liquid, such as a fl ower vase, on the appliance.

4.  

Accessories

 – Do not place this product on an 

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The 
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child 
or adult, and serious damage to the product. 
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or 
table recommended by the manufacturer. Any mounting of 
the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, 
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the 
manufacturer.

 

A product and cart combination should be moved 

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may 
cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

5.  

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.

6.  

Power Sources

 – This product should be operated only from the 

type of power source indicated on the product. If you are not sure of 
the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer 
or local power company.

7.  

CAUTION

 

 Polarization

 – This product may be equipped

 

 

with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one 
blade wider than the other). This plug will fi t 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.

8.   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.

9.  

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.

10.  Overloading

 – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, 

or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of 
fi re or electric shock.

11.  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 fi re or 
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

 Caution:  Read this page carefully to ensure safe operation.
