damage to the product.

Safety Precautions
vi
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.
8A 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.
9Ventilation –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.
10 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.
11 Grounding or 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. Alternate Warnings –
This product is equipped with a three-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
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the grounding-type 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 product.

Safety Precautions
vii
13 Protective Attachment Plug –The product is equipped with an attachment plug
having overload protection. This is a safety feature. See Instruction Manual for
replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is
required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by
the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the original plug.
14 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.
15 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 system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16 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.
17 Overloading –Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18 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 a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
product.

Safety Precautions
viii
19 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.
20 Damage Requiring Service –Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
aWhen the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
bIf liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
cIf the product has been exposed to rain or water,
dIf 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 often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,
eIf the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
fWhen the product exhibits a distinct change in performance –this indicates a
need for service.
21 Replacement Parts –When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result
in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
22 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.
23 Wall or Ceiling Mounting –The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
