2. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The caution marking is located on the rear of the cabinet.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
1. Read Instructions- All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance
is operated.
2. Retain Instructions- The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings- All warnings on the appliance
and in the operating instructions should be
adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions- All operating and use
instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning- Unplug this video product from the
wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that for some specific
reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an
authorization code for a CATV converter, is not
intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.
6. Attachments- Do not use attachments not rec-
ommended by the video product manufacturer
as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this video
product near water, for example, near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and
the like.
8. Accessories- Do not place this video product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The video product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer, or sold with the video product.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer's instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
9. Ventilation- Slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should not be placed 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 .
10. Power Sources- This video 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 appliance dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization- This video product
is 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.
12. 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 appliance.
13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the
video 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 No. 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.

14. Lightning- For added protection for this video
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 video product due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. 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, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
