instructions should be retained for future reference.
3) Heed Warnings—All warnings on the unit and in the 
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4) Follow Instructions—All operating and maintenance 
instructions should be followed.
5) Cleaning—Unplug this video unit from the wall outlet 
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. 
Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
6) Attachments—Do not use attachments not 
recommended by the video product manufacturer as 
they may be hazardous.
7) Water and Moisture—Do not use this video unit near 
water- for example near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen 
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a 
swimming pool, and the like.
8) Accessories—Do not place this video unit on an 
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video 
unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, 
and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, 
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the 
manufacturer, or sold with the video unit. Any mounting 
of the unit should follow the manufacturer’s instructions 
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by 
the manufacturer. 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 are 
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation 
of the video unit and to protect it from overheating. 
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never 
place the video unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar 
surface, or near or over a radiator or heat register. This 
video unit should not be placed in a 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 video unit should be operated only 
from the type of power source indicated on the marking 
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to 
your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power 
company. For video units intended to be operated from 
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating 
instructions.11) Grounding or Polarization—This video unit may be 
equipped with either a polarized 2-wire AC (Alternating 
Current) line plug (a plug having one blade wider than 
the other) or 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a 
third (grounding) pin.
The 2-wire polarized 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 electrician to 
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety 
purpose of the polarized plug.
The 3-wire grounding type plug will fit into a grounding 
type power outlet. This 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 of plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
13) Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or 
cable system is connected to the video unit, be sure the 
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide 
some protection against voltage surges and built-up 
static charges. Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code, in 
USA Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, 
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.
14) Lightning—For added protection of this video unit 
receiver 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 video unit 
due to lightning and power-line surges.
15) 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.
16) Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and 
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or 
electric shock.
