1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instruc-

tions 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. Cleaning - Unplug this video product from the wall outlet

before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted
service and, that for some specific reason, such as the
possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV
converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user
for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the refer-
ence to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning descrip-
tion otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommend-

ed by the video product manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.

7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product 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 this video product on an unsta-

ble cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product
may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and seri-
ous damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufactur-
er, or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the
appliance should follow the manufactur-
er's instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer. An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appli-
ance and cart combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video
product and to protect it from overheating, and these open-
ings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video 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.

10. Power Sources - This video product should be operated

only from the type of power source indicated on the mark-
ing label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This video product is

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 fea-
ture. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the out-
let, 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.

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 at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the video 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 No. 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. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this video 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 video product due to lightning
and power-line surges.

15. 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.

16. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind

into this video product through any 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 video product.

18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video product

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this video product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

video product.

c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video 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 video product to its normal operation.

e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in

any way.

f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in per-

formance this indicates a need for service.

20. 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.

21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs

to this video product, ask the service technician to per-
form safety checks to determine that the video product is
in proper operating condition.

22. Heat - This video product should be situated away from

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