d. If the unit does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as
an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the unit to its normal
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.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS- When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician uses replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or those that have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK- Upon completion of any
service or repairs to this unit, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the unit is in proper operating
condition.
22. HEAT- The product should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
23. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installers attention to Article 820-40
of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the
cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to
the point of cable entry as practical. 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 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 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
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 con-
nected 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, 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, connec-
tion to grounding electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding electrode.
18. SERVICING- Do not attempt to service this
unit yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE- Unplug
this unit from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water. 8A.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.
9. VENTILATION- Slots and openings in the
cabinet back or bottom are provided for
ventilation, 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 nearor over a radiator or heat source. This unit
should not be placed in a built-in installation,
such as a bookcase, or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturers
instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCE- 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
company. For units intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the
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 still fails to fit, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug. If your unit is 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. 1. READ INSTRUCTIONS- All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before
the unit is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS- The safety and
operating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS-All warnings on the unit
and in the operating instructions should be
adhered to.
