Important Safeguards
X672 Rev 700 V200VA-B
11. Grounding -
This applies to vi deo products
equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug
having a third (grounding) pin. This plug only fits 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 at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the video product.
13. Outdoor Cable Grounding -
If an outside cable
system is connected to the video product, be sure the
cable 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 70-1984, provides information with respect
to proper 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 for this video
product when it is not used for long periods of time,
disconnect it from its power source and from the cable
system. This prevents damage to the video product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Power Lines -
An outside cable 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 cable 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.

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
