located in the vicinity of over head power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall in to
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.

18

cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19

kind into this 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 product.
Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product

20

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all

a qualified technician to restore the product to its
normal operation,
E) If the product has been dropped or damaged in
anyway.
F) When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
