9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom
are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable
operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheat-
ing. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This unit should never be placed near or
over a radiator or heat source. This unit 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 unit should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the rating plate. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your
home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit 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, if your unit is equipped with a 3-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (ground-
ing) pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
power outlet. This too, 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 appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit 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 unit 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
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit,
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 into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges, Section
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with respect to proper ground-
ing 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.
18. SERVICING
