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 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. LIGHTNING
To protect your product from 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.
14. 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.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords 
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
