Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Never touch this apparatus or antenna during
a thunder or lighting storm.
Do not allow a impact shock or any objects to
fall into the product, and do not drop onto the

cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
Most appliances recommend they be placed
upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet
circuit which powers only that appliance and
has no additional outlets or branch circuits.
Check the specification page of this owner's
manual to be certain.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates dam-
age or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use
of the appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an authorized
servicer. Protect the power cord from physical
or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.

tric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain
or moisture.
