indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply you
plan to use, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For units intended
to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11) Grounding or Polarization - This unit 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. Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin.This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
power outlet.This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the

safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12) 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.
13) Power Lines - An outdoor system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outdoor system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the National Electrical Code Article 820
regarding installation of CATV systems.
14) Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.

operation.
e) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for
service.
18) Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service

cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only—Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1981, provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mount and supporting structure, grounding of the coax to a discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
21) 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.
