– 3 –
1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instruc-
tions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions- The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning - Unplug this video product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted
service and, that for some specific reason, such as the
possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV
converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for
cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference
to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description
otherwise required in item 5.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended
by the video product manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product 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 product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mount-
ing of the appliance 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 appli-
ance and cart combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are pro-
vided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the video product and to protect it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
video product should not be placed in a built-in installa-
tion 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 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 appliance dealer or
local power company. For products intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization - This video 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 the polarized 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 at plugs, convenience recep-
tacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the video 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 No. 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 requirements for
the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning - For added protection for this video product
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 product due to 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.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind
into this video product through any 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 video product.
18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this video product
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this video product
from the wall 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
video product.
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video product 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 video product to its
normal operation.
e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
20. 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.
21. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this video product, ask the service technician to per-
form safety checks to determine that the video product is
in proper operating condition.
22. Heat - This video product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
