protect it from overheating, and these openings 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

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 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 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.

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

receptacles, 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.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this

can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

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.

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.
