label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home, consult your local power
company. For equipment intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
11 Ground or polarization
This equipment 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.
12 Alternate warnings
This equipment may be equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin. This pin will only fit into a

receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
14 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
15 Lightning
For added protection for this equipment 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.
16 Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
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 may be fatal.

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

Never push objects of any kind into this
equipment through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that
could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the product.

yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards, refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.

adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the
equipment to its normal operation.
e If the equipment has been dropped or cabinet
has been damaged.
f When the equipment exhibits a distinct change
in performance, indicating a need for service.
21 Replacement parts

service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
