product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7) Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near water for ex-
ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
8) 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 the manufacturer’s instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9) CART - A product and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
product and cart combination to overturn.
10) Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventila-
tion, ensure reliable operation of the product, and protect it from
overheating. Do not block or cover these openings. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. Do not place this product 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.
11) 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.
12) LOCATION - The appliance should be installed in a stable location.
13) NONUSE PERIODS - The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of
time.
14) Grounding or Polarization -
• If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into
the 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.
• If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type
plug, it 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 your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.
15) 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.
16) 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 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.
17) Lightning - For added protection of 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 system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
18) Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric lights or power
circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep it
from touching power lines or circuits. Contact with them might be
fatal.
19) Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles. This can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
20) Objects and Liquids - Do not push objects of any kind into this
product through openings. They may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts, resulting in a fire or electric shock. Liquids
of any kind should not be used on or around this product.
21) Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
22) Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged,
• If liquid has spilled or objects have fallen into the product,
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
• If the product does not function properly after following the
operating instructions, contact Customer Service for technical
support.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way,
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance. This
indicates a need for service.
23) Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
24) Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
25) Wall or Ceiling Mounting - Mount the product to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
26) Heat - Keep this product away from heat sources, such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or amplifiers.
27) Battery Usage - Battery leakage may result in bodily injury or
damage to the unit. In order to avoid battery problems, please
