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.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong.The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safe­ty. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement

of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over

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.

13. Unplug this apparatus during
lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.

To protect your product from 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 product due to light­ning and power-line surges.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service per­sonnel. Servicing is required when the appa­ratus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

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 appliance
dealer or local power company. For products
intended to operate from battery power, or other
source, refer to the operation instructions.

16. 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.
