NERGY
S
TAR
® guidelines for energy efficiency.”
Positioning the appliance
1. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table. Serious
injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result if it
should fall. Your salesperson can recommend approved carts and
stands or shelf and wall mounting instructions. 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.
2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from over-
heating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should
not be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
appliance should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This
appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless
proper ventilation is provided.
3. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example, near a
bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.
Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna
LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70
4. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna 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, pro-
vides 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
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to ground-
ing electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
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.
Plug in the power cord
5. This product should be operated only from the 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 product dealer or local power company. This 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 this polarized plug. Do not overload wall out-
lets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
6. 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.
Cleaning
7. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
Service & Repair
8. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance.
F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
appliance to normal operation.
9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service technician’s
assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that have the same
characteristics as the original parts were used, and that routine safety checks
have been performed to determine that the appliance is in safe operating
condition. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or other
hazards.
10. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use with this
appliance as they may cause hazards.
11. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna. This will prevent damage to the set due to lightning or power line surges.
12. 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
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
