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 recommended

by the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit 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 unit on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The unit may fall, causing serious injury to
someone, and serious damage to the appli­ance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, brack­et, or table recommended by the manufacturer,
or sold with the unit. 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.
Ameubles - Cet appareil ne doit être placé
que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes)
recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’installez
sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux
ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt brusque,
l’utilisation d’une force excessive et des sur­faces irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le
renverser.

9. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back

or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the unit and to protect it from overheating, and

these openings must not be blocked or covered. The open­ings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface.This unit should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This unit
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a book­case or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or 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 the
units intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization - This unit 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 unit, 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 respect 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. (Fig. A)
