19) If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, 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 ground-
ing conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
20) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21) Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
22) Keep your fingers clear of the disc slot as it is closing. It may cause injury.
23) When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment
from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the
owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connec-
tions.
24) Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume
sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.
