6. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product 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.
7. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The 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 the product should follow
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect
it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been
adhered to.
9. Power Sources – This 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 product dealer or
local power company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
10. Grounding and Polarization – This product may be 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.
11. 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 product.
12. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the product, 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 70, provides information with regard to the 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.
13. Lightning – For added protection for this 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 systems. 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, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Do not expose this
product to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, are placed 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. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions:
• When power-supply cord or plug is damaged;
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product;
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water;
• 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 improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation;
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way;
• If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance–this indicates
a need for service.
