for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manu­facturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water - for example, near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swim­ming pool, in an unprotected outdoor installation, or any area which is classi­fied as a wet location.

8. Accessories - Do not place this unit on an unstable stand, tripod, bracket, or
mount. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a person and serious dam­age to the unit. Use only with a stand, tripod, bracket, or mount recommended
by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. 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 - Openings in the enclosure, if any, are provided for ventilation and
to ensure reliable operation of the unit and to protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered. This unit should not be placed in a
built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's
instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power Sources - This 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 you plan to use, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
For units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This unit 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.

Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a
plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug 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.

12. 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 then,
paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.

2 Pelco Manual C929M-B (2/97)

13. Power Lines - An outdoor system should not be located in the vicinity of over­head power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outdoor system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the National
Electrical Code Article 820 regarding installation of CATV systems.

14. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.

15. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this unit 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 unit.

16. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all ser­vicing to qualified service personnel.

17. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the outlet and refer servic­ing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instruc-

tions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating in­structions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in dam­age and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a

need for service.

18. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the ser­vice technician has used replacement 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.

19. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is in
proper operating condition.

20. Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected to the unit, be sure
the cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only-Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1981, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of the coax
to a discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec­trode.

21. Lightning - For added protection of this unit 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 cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit
due to lightning and power-line surges.
