home, consult your video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
6 Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets of extension cords as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords,
damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result
in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician
7 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 video product.
8 Ventilation- Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable
operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the video product manufacturer’s instruction’s have been followed.

13 Power Lines- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines, 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 or approaching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal. Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a
professional antenna installer.
