15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver) during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, un-
plug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over-
head 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.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
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.
19. Servicing
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.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
21. 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 substitu-
tions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check
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.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
24. Heat
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
25. CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated
circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that
appliance and has not additional outlets or branch circuits.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damage wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or dama-
ged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these condi-
tions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the
cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized
servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon.
Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where
the cord exits the appliance.
