3 POWER CORD
Make sure power cords are muted so that they are
not likely to have anything rest on them, roll over
them, or be in the way of walking traffic.
If an extension cord is used, make sure it also has
either a polarized or grounded plug and that the
cords can be securely connected.
Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous and should be
replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire
hazards and should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat
generated during operation. If they are blocked, heat
build-up inside the unit can cause failures that may
result in a fire hazard or heat damage to cassettes.
For protection follow these rules:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit while in
use, or operate the unit when placed on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other soft surface.
b. Avoid built-in installation, such as a book case or
rack, unless proper ventilation is provided.

grounded so as to provide
some protection against
built up static charges and
voltage surges. Section 810 =Moum_co,,=_ro_
Ifan outside antenna or cable_=..=_o,wr=,.,)__
of the National Electrical =_=,m=.,_
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (in
Canada, part 1 of the ,o,,,==R_ce=_m_e,,m=
Canadian Electrical Coda) _ ._=._rn_co= _=_n,r=.p_rr_
provides information with respect toproper 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.
2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines,
circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the
hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional.
