12. Grounding or polarization. This product may be 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.
13. 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 receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the product.
14. Outdoor antenna grounding. If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the 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 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.
15. Lightning. For added protection for this 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 discon-
nect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the product due to lightning and power line surges.
16. Overloading. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles 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 product through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or elec-
tric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
Warning
The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing,
and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be
placed on the apparatus. As with any electronic products, use
care not to spill liquids into any part of the system. Liquids can
cause a failure and/or a fire hazard.
18. Damage requiring service. Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service 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 product.
(c) if the product has been exposed to rain or water.
(d) if the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to
its normal operation.
(e) if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
(f) when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-
this indicates a need for service.
19. 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.
20. Safety check. Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
21. Heat. The product should be situated away from heat sourc-
es such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products
