3.
Heed all warnings.
4.
Follow all instructions.
5.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
6.
Clean only with a dry cloth.
7.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.
Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.
10.
Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11.
Only use attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.
12.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket
or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord
or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.
Do not use attachments not recommended
by the product manufacturer, as they may cause
hazards.
16.
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. For products intended
to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
17.
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 require-
ments for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.
18.
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.
19.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles, as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
20.
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.
21.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
22.
Do not attempt to service this product yourself,
as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
23.
When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or that have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock or other hazards.
24.
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.
25.
The product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
