IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
CAUTION: PLEASE ADHERE TO ALL WARNINGS OH THE PRODUCT AND IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. BEFORE
OPERATING THE PRODUCT, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. RETAIN THIS
LITERATURE FOR REFERENCE.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your
personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the
safeguards incorporated in this unit, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing. Your
appliance is fully transistorized and does not contain any user serviceable components.
Removal of the cabinet cover may expose you to dangerous voltages.Refer all servicing to gualitied service
personnel.
1. This appliance should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the unit or as indicated
in this Owner’s Manual. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply in your home, consult your sales­
person or your local power company. For appliances
designed to operate from battery power, refer to the
operating instructions. '
2. The design of many appliances does not require a
polarized AC line plug (one blade wider than the
other). However, if your appliance is equipped with a
polarized AC line plug, it is a safety feature which
prevents the plug being inserted incorrectly. If you
have difficulty inserting the plug, try
reversing it. If the plug still does not fit
fully into the outlet, contact your electricians
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not de-'
feat the safety purpose of this polarized plug.
3. Do not drop or push objects into cabinet slots or
openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages
and contact may result in electrical shock hazard. Never ’
spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND
SET AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.
4. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and
built up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSl/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 require­
ments for the grounding electrode,
5. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or
bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reli­
able operation of the appliance and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be covered with
a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings
should not be blocked by placing the unit on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This appliance
should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This appliance should not be placed in a built-
in installation such as a bookcase unless proper
ventilation is provided.
6. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near
w a t e r . . . for example, near a bathtub, swimming
pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc. Before
cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not
apply liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly to
the unit. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
7. 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 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.
8. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when
the set is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna. This will prevent damage to the set due to
lightning or power line surges.
9. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, shelf or table. Serious injury to an individual,
and damage to the appliance, may result if it should
fall. Your salesperson can recommend approved
carts and stands or shelf and wall mounting instruc­
tions. An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the |
appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
10. Never add accessories that have not been
specifically designed for use with this appliance.
