Important Safeguards
1 ) Read Instructions — All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the unit is operated.
2 ) Retain Instructions — The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3 ) Heed Warnings — All warnings on the unit and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4 ) Follow Instructions — All operating and maintenance
instructions should be followed.
5 ) Cleaning — Unplug this video unit from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
6 ) Attachments — Do not use attachments not
recommended by the video product manufacturer as
they may be hazardous.
7 ) Water and Moisture — Do not use this video unit near
water- for example near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, and the like.
8 ) Accessories — Do not place this video unit on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video
unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video unit. 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.
9 ) Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation
of the video unit and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never
place the video unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface, or near or over a radiator or heat register. This
video unit should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
10) Power Sources — This video 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 to your home, consult your appliance dealer or
local power company. For video units intended to be
operated from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
11) Grounding or Polarization — This video unit may be
equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC (Alternating
Current) line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other) or 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a
third (grounding) pin.
The 2-wire polarized 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 still fails to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
The 3-wire grounding type plug will 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.
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 against them, paying
particular attention to cords of plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
13) Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the video unit, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code, in
USA Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
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.
14) Lightning — For added protection of this video unit
receiver 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 antenna or
cable system. This will prevent damage to the video unit
that may be caused by lightning and power-line surges.
15) Power Lines — 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.
16) Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
