6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is

force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with
its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a book case
or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in
the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means
of an appliance are not defeated.
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

at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

as recommended by the manufacturer.
14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be
located away from power lines.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - 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. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides 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 grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

unused for a long period of time.

A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
