9
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the equipment and to protect it
from overheating. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface.
Equipment should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register, or in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided.
10
Power sources
This product should be operated only from the type of power sources indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supplied to your home, consult your local power company. For equipment intended to operate from battery power,
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11
Ground or polarization
This equipment may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12
Alternate warnings
This equipment may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This pin will only fit
into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
13
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 appliance.
14
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrode.
15
Lightning
For added protection for this equipment 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 video product
due to lightning and power line surges.
16
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines 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 such power
lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
17
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
