should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the oper-
ating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should
be followed.
5. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before clean-
ing. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by
the video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this video product near
water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.
8. Accessories - Do not place this video product on an unstable
surface. The video product may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use
a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
8A. 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, to ensure reliable operation of the video product, and
to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This video product 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 product 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 supplier or local power company. For video
products intended to operate from battery power or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11.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 them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
12.Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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. See Fig. A.
13.Lightning - For added protection for this product during a light-
ning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power surges.
14.Power lines - An outside antenna 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 outside antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.
15.Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16.Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into
this product 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 product.
17.Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
18.Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall
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 on, or objects have fallen into the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d.If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. 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 product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance -
this indicates a need for service.
19.Exchange Policy - When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or which have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
20.Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
21.Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products that
produce heat.
22.Telephone - Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless
type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
23.Gas Leaks - Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak.
If you suspect a gas leak, report it immediately, but use a telephone
away from the area where gas is leaking. With a cordless phone, also
make sure that the phone base is away from the gas leak.
24.Grounding or Polarization - This product 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.

the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the
sum of RENs should not exceed five. To be certain of the
number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.
This equipment uses the following USOC jack: RJ-11C.
