This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and
safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation
precautions which you should be particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions -
All the safety and operating instructions should be
read before the appliance is operated.
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 instructions should be
followed.
5. Water and Moisture -
The appliance should not be used near water -
for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or
swimming pool, or in a wet basement.
6. Carts and Stands -
The appliance should be used only with a cart or
stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
6A.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting -
The appliance should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation -
The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the
appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface
that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of
air through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat -
The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources -
The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.
11. Grounding or Polarization -
Precautions should be taken so that the
grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.
Caution:
To prevent electric
shock, match the wide blade of this
plug to the wide slot and fully insert.
Do not use this (polarized) plug with an
extension cord, receptacle or other
outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
12. 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 and plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
13. Cleaning -
The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by
the manufacturer.
14. Power Lines -
An outdoor antenna should be located away from power
lines.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -
If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See figure below.
16. Non-use Periods -
The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
17. Object and Liquid Entry -
Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
18. Damage Requiring Service -
The appliance should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
A.
The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B.
Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance; or
C.
The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D.
The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E.
The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
19. Servicing -
The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
