Grounding or Polarization

— This

having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If

unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer’s instructions have
been adhered to.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

— If an
outside antenna is connected to the re­ceiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 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 mast
and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, loca­tion of antenna-discharge unit, connec-

3

tion to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding elec­trode. See figure.

Lightning

— For added protection for
this product 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 antenna

power-line surges.

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.

Features

Your RadioShack CD Graphics Karaoke
System is a stylish, affordable karaoke
system with a full array of great features.
It lets you sing along with your favorite
recordings on a CD, CDG (compact disc

and hear your voice over the music
through the powerful built-in speaker.

The karaoke system lets you play regu­lar or karaoke CDs or CDGs, so you can
experience digital images. You can con­nect the karaoke system to a TV or mon­itor and read the lyrics of your favorite
tunes as they scroll in front of a still vid­eo background. You can also connect a
stereo VCR to the karaoke system and
play a karaoke video cassette (not sup­plied) to accompany your singing and
provide the lyrics.

Or, you can sing along without video,
using special karaoke audio cassette
tapes (such as the one we have includ­ed to get you started) that let you bal­ance the volume of the original singer’s
voice and the music tracks. You can
even sing along with your favorite pre­recorded cassette tapes and CDs!
