Important Safeguards
1.
Read Instructions
—All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance is oper-
ated.
2.
Retain Instructions
—The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3.
Heed Warnings
—All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.
Follow Instructions
—All operating and use instruc-
tions should be followed.
5.
Cleaning
—Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet
before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
6.
Attachments
—Do not use attachments not recom-
mended by the appliance manufacturer as they may
cause hazards.
7.
Water and Moisture
—Do not use the appliance near
water –for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swim-
ming pool; and the like.
8.
Accessories
—Do not place the appliance on an unsta-
ble cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance
may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and
serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting
of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
9. An appliance and cart combi-
nation should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
10.
Ventilation
—Slots and open-
ings in the cabinet are pro-
vided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the appli-
ance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The
appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided. There should be free space of at least 8 in. (20
cm) and an opening behind the appliance.
11.
Power Sources
—The appliance 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.
12.
Grounding or Polarization
—The appliance may be
equipped with a polarized alternating 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 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.
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
appliance.
14
. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
—If an outside antenna
or cable system is connected to the appliance, 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 elec-
trode. See Figure 1.
15.
Lightning
—For added protection for the appliance dur-
ing 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 appliance due to lightning
and power-line surges.
16
. 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 con-
tact with them might be fatal.
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.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
