- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.

- An extension cord should have the same type plug (polarized or grounding) and must be

securely connected.

- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords are fire hazards.

- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous and

should be replaced by a qualified electrician

DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES

Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated during operation. If blocked, heat

build+up may result in a fire hazard or heat

damage to cassettes or discs

For your protection: a. Never cover ventilation slots while unit is

ON, or operate unit while placed on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface.

An outside antenna or cable system must be properly grounded to provide some protection against built up static charges and vottage.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSItNFPA 70 (in Canada, part 1 of the

Canadian Electrical Code) provides information regarding proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the tead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding etectrodes, and requirements for the grounding

electrode

KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS

Locate an outside antenna system well away from power lines and electric light or power circuits so it will never touch these power

sources should it ever fall. When installing absolutely never

touch power lines, circuits or other

power sources as =. this could be fatal
