pool; and the like.

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, or sold with the product. Any
mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.

CART —

 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.

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

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 this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or

water.

• 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
adjustment 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.

• 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.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING —

 The product

should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.

HEAT — 

The product should be situated away

from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
