IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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
auithorization 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 recommended 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, 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.
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 never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video
product should not be placed in a build-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
marketing label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
ower company. For video products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
11. This video product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will only fit into a ground-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 ground-type 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. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA, No. 70-1984, provides information with respect
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 75.1
14. Lightning — For added protection for this video product receiver
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 of circuits, as contact with them
might be fatal.
16. Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and liquid Entry — never push objects of any kind into this
video 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 video-product.
18. Servicing — Do not attempt to service this video product yourself,
as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage requiring service-unplug this video product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the video
product.
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the video product to its
normal operation.
e. If the video product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in performancethis indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement parts — When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
21. Safety check — Upon completion of any service or repairs
to this video product, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the video product is in proper
operating condition.
