10A. If the appliance 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 an electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

10B. If the appliance is equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (ground­ing) pin, this plug will only fit into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.

11. Power-supply cord should be routed so that it is
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against it, paying particular

attention to cord at plug, convenience receptacle
and the point where cord exits from the appliance.

12. If an outside antenna or cable system is con­nected to this video product, be sure system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Proper
method is shown at the top of the next page.

13. 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.

14. 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.
