LOCATION – The appliance should be installed in a stable location.
NON-USE PERIODS – The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long

period of time.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

- If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), it will fit into the 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 you electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED PLUG.

- If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding), it will
only 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

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 plug, convenience
receptables, and the point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING – 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/NFP A70, 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. See Figure A to the right
for reference.
