Cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6)
Attachments - Do not use attachments not recom-
mended by the product manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
7)
Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near
water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool.
8)
Accessories - Do not place this product on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or
sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9)
CART - A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to
overturn.
Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet provide
10)
ventilation, ensure reliable operation of the product, and
protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these
openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing
the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do
not place this product 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.
11)
Power Sources - This 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 product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12)
LOCATION - The appliance should be installed in a stable
location.
NONUSE PERIODS - The power cord of the appliance
13)
should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a
long period of time.
14)
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 your 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, 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
the grounding type plug.
15)
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 product.
16)
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/
NFPA 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.
17)
Lightning - For added protection for this 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 product due to lightning and power-line
surges.
18)
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, take extreme care to keep it from touching such
power lines or circuits; contact with them might be fatal.
19)
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids - Do not push objects of any kind
20)
into this product through openings; they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a
fire or electric shock. Liquids of any kind should not be used
on or around this product.
Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product
21)
yourself.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
22)
Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged,

required, be sure the service technician uses replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer or having the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
24)

to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the product is in proper operating
condition.
25)
