where they exit from the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

13. LIGHTNING

To protect your unit 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 unit due to lightning and power line surges.

14. 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 onto or against 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.

15. OVERLOADING Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. OBJECTAND LIQUID ENTRY Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short

out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is

grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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.

18. SERVICING Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

For example: a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit. c. if the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.

e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.

19. REPLACEMENT PARTS
