follow the manufacturers instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9. VENTILATION Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the equipment and
to protect it from overheating. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface.
Equipment should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register, or in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided.
10. POWER SOURCES This product should be operated only
from the type of power sources indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
local power company. For equipment intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUND OR POLARIZATION This equipment 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.
12. ALTERNATIVE WARNINGS This equipment may be equipped
with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding)
pin. This pin 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.
13. 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.
14. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect
to proper 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 to the
grounding electrodes. See figure on previous page.
15. LIGHTNING For added protection for this equipment 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 video
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 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 may be fatal.
17. OVERLOADING Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
18. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY Never push objects of any kind
into this equipment through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electrical
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
19. SERVICING Do not attempt to service this equipment 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 equipment from
the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
c. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the equipment.
d. If the equipment 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 equipment to its normal operation.
e. If the equipment has been dropped or cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance,
indicating 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.

this video product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks
to determine that the product is in proper operational condition.
23. TELEPHONE EQUIPMENT Observe the following precautions
when installing telephone modem equipment:
a. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
