Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these safety
instructions completely before operating the
appliance, and keep this manual for future
reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and
instructions on the appliance, or the one described in
the operating instructions and adhere to them.
Use
Installation
Power sources
This set should be operated only
from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of
electrical power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or
local power company. For those sets designed to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a
plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the
instructions below:
For the set with a polarized ac power cord
plug:
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 have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
For the set with a three-wire grounding
type ac plug:
This plug 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 have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their
capacity, since this can result in
fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind
into the set 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 set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer,
as they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall
outlet before cleaning or
polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use
a cloth lightly dampened with
water for cleaning the exterior of
the set.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets
near water - for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is
not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point
where the cord exits from the appliance.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The set may
fall, causing serious injury to a
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set.
Use only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must never be
blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots and
openings with a cloth or other
materials.
• Never block the slots and
openings by placing the set on
a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface.
