0. POWER SOURCES
T
his 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
o
ther sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
T
his product 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. LIGHTNING
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. 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.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Never push objects of any kind into this product through
openings 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 on the
product.
17. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
18. REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
19. SAFETY CHECK
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
product, ask the service technician to perform safety
c
hecks to determine that the product is in proper
o
perating condition.
20. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
21. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
U
nplug the product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
f
ollowing conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as an adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance–this indicates a need for service.
22. HEAT
The product should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
23. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
24. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA70, provides information with respect
to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge product, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge product, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements for grounding
electrodes.
