IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
10. 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 and plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
11. Overloading – Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
12. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this unit
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the unit.
13. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
14. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the unit from the outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit 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 unit to its normal operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the enclosure has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates
a need for service.
15. 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.
16. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the unit is
in proper operating condition.
17. Lightning – For added protection of this unit 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 cable system. This will prevent damage to
the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
