16. POWER SOURCES:
The C MCORDER should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply at your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. C MCORDER is intended to be operated from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
17. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:
This C MCORDER may be equipped with either a polarized 2-wire
C line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other) or a 3-
wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
18. 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 or plugs, convenient receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the unit.

19. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING:
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the
C MCORDER, 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, NSI/NFP
No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
and supporting structure, grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding to conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
See figure below.
20. LIGHTNING:
For added protection of this C MCORDER 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 C MCORDER due to lightning and
power-line surges.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
21. POWER LINES:
n outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits 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.
22. OVERLOADING:
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
23. OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS:
Never push objects of any kind into this C MCORDER through
openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out a
part that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquids of any kind onto the C MCORDER. Should
spillage occur, unplug unit and have it checked by a technician

operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
C MCORDER to its normal operation.
e. If the C MCORDER has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the C MCORDER exhibits a distinct change in
performance, this indicates a need for service.
