operating instructions.

12.Grounding or Polarization.This product may be
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.

for long periods of time.

15.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.Ar ticle 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.See Figure A.

16.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

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.

cords,or integral convenience receptacles,as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19.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.

20.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.

by a qualified technician to restore the product to its
normal operation;or
e. The product has been dropped or damaged in a ny
way;or
f. The product exhibits a distinct change in
performance; this indicates a need for service.
