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 equipment and to protect it from
overheating. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or similar surface. Equipment should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register, or in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided.
10 Power sources
This product should be operated only from the
type of power sources indicated on the
marking 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
grounding-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 grounding-type plug.
13 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.
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.

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.

refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
~= When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged.
Ä= If the equipment has been exposed to rain
or water.
Å= If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the equipment.
Ç= If the equipment does not operate normally

improper 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.
É= If the equipment has been dropped or
cabinet has been damaged.
Ñ= When the equipment exhibits a distinct
change in performance, indicating a need
for service.

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.
