3

reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted without blade exposure. If
you need an extension cord, use a polarized cord.

5. Power Sources - This 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 video dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in a risk of
fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged
or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire
hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicated damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.

walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

8. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not the
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such

12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
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 No.70-1984 (Section 54 of Canadian Electrical Code, Part1) provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

13. Power Lines -An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines, 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 or approaching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be
fatal. Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional
antenna installer.

Use

14. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
