IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the prod-
uct, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code
(U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information with regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground-
ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-
nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver) during a light-
ning 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
product due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicini-
ty of overhead power lines or other electric light or power cir-
cuits, 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 might be fatal.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product 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 product.
19. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjust-
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the product to its normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
21. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service tech-
nician has used replacement parts specified by the manufactur-
er or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
22. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask
the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting
