5.
Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6.
Attachments - Do not use attachments not
recommended by the product manufacturer as they may
cause hazards.
7.
Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand,
tripod, bracket, or mount. The unit may fall, causing
serious injury to a person and serious damage to the unit.
Use only with a stand, tripod, bracket, or mount
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the unit should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory 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.
8.
Ventilation - Openings in the enclosure, if any, are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation
of the unit and to protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered. This unit
should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions
have been adhered to.
9.
Power Sources - This unit 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 you plan
to use, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
10. Grounding or Polarization - This unit 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.
Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin.
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 replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
11. 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 and plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
12. Power Lines - An outdoor 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 outdoor
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the
National Electrical Code Article 820 regarding installation
of CATV systems.
13. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
14. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this unit 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 unit.
15. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
16. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the
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 unit.
c.
If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d.
If the unit does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions, as an
improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal
operation.
e.
If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f.
When the unit exhibits a distinct change in
performance--this indicates a need for service.
17. 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.
18. Safety Check - 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.
19. Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected
to the unit, be sure the cable system is grounded. U.S.A.
models only--Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70-1981, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mount and supporting
structure, grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
20. Lightning - For added protection of this unit 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 cable system. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line
surges.
