8. ACCESSORIES
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing
serious injury, and serious damage to the unit.
8A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combina-
tion to overturn.
9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the unit and to protect it from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing
the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This unit should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat source. This unit should not be
placed in built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES
This unit should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are
not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power com-
pany. For units intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the respective
pages on this Owner's Manual for their operating
instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is 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. Instead of
the polarized alternating-current line plug, your 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 too,
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.
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 at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from 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 unit due to lightning and power line
surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna 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 or
against 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.
15. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or electric shock.
Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the unit, 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 (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with respect 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 the grounding electrode.
