the cords can be securely connected. Frayed cords damaged
pugs, and damaged or cracked wire insulation are hazardous
and should be replaced by a qualified service technician.
Overloaded outlets and extension cords are fire hazards and
should be avoided.
4 DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Ventilation openings in the cabinet release heat generated
during operation. If they are blocked, heat build-up inside the
unit can cause failures that may result in a fire hazard or
heat damage to cassettes.
For protection, follow these rules:
a. Never cover ventilation slots or the unit
while in use, or operate the unit when placed
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft sudace.

2 KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to fall. When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines,
circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the
hazards involved, antenna installation should be left to a professional
