SAFETY TIPS P A G E 3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
These simple precautions will help ensure that you get many years of safe enjoyment from your new product.
1.Read Instructions
Read all of the safety and operating instructions before operating the product.
2.Retain Instructions
Keep all safety and operating instructions for future reference.
3.Heed Warnings
Follow warnings on the product and in the operating guide.
4.Follow Instructions
Follow all operating and use instructions.
5.Cleaning
Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6.Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7.Water and Moisture
Do not use this product near water—for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
8.Accessories, Carts, and Stands
Do not place product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. Product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of product should follow manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by manufacturer.
9.Transporting Product
Move product and cart combinations
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause product and cart combination to overturn.
10.Ventilation
Slots and openings in cabinet must not be blocked or covered. They are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation, and to protect from overheating. Never block openings by placing product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place product in built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11.Power Sources
Operate product only from type of power source indicated on marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to manual.
12.Power-Cord Polarization
Product is equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into power outlet only one way. If you’re unable to insert plug fully into outlet, try reversing the plug. If plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13.Power-Cord Protection
Route power-supply cords so 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 product.
14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to this product, be sure 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 (USA), ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information on grounding of mast and supporting structure, grounding of lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrode. ( See Fig. 1 below. )
