NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to
call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of the cable entry as practical.

CAUTION: The apparatus should not be exposed to water
(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

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 no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions 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.

To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord
plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily
accessible.
