instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization - This video product has a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If you connect an outside antenna
or cable system to the video product, be sure the antenna or cable

with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting

where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When instaliing
an outside antenna system, refrain from touching such power iines
or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

work by a qualified technician to restore the video product to its
normal operation.
e. If the video product is dropped or the cabinet is damaged.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in perfor
mance, this indicates a need for service.
