CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The caution marking is located on the rear of the cabinet.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

1. Read Instructions- All the safety and operating

instructions should be read before the appliance
is operated.

2. Retain Instructions- The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future refer­ence.

3. Heed Warnings- All warnings on the appliance

and in the operating instructions should be
adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions- All operating and use

instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning- Unplug this video product from the

wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for unin­terrupted service and, that for some specific
reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an
authorization code for a CATV converter, is not
intended to be unplugged by the user for clean­ing or any other purpose, may exclude the refer­ence to unplugging the appliance in the clean­ing description otherwise required in item 5.

6. Attachments- Do not use attachments not rec-

ommended 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, or near a swimming pool, and
the like.

8. Accessories- Do not place this video product

on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. 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. 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 and to ensure reli­able operation of the video product and to pro­tect it from overheating, and 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 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 dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization- This video product

is 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.

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

13. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 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.

14. Lightning- For added protection for this video

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 or cable system. This will pre­vent damage to the video product due to light­ning and power-line surges.

15. 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.

16. Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience recep­tacles as this can result in a risk of fire or elec­tric shock.
