8. Accessories -- Do not place this video unit on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child

or adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video unit. Any mounting of the unit should follow

the manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by

the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive

force, and uneven surfaces may

cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9. Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video unit and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never place the video unit on a bed,

sofa, rug, or other similar surface, or near or over a

radiator or heat register. This video unit should not be placed in a built-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 unit should be operated only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For video units intended to be operated from battery

power, or other sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization -- This video unit may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC

(Alternating Current) line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) or 3-wire grounding

type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. The 2-wire polarized 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 still tails to fit, contacl your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

The 3-wire grounding type plug will fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the video unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Part 1 of

the Canadian Electrical Code, in USA Section 810

of the National Electrical Code, 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.
