3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should
be followed.
5. Cleaning - Unplug this video product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service
and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of
the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not
intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any
other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the
appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in
item 5.
6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by
the video product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product 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 product on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video product may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance
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 product and to protect it
from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
video product 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 product 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 products intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization - This video product 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. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized 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. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the video product, 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, ANSI/NFPA No. 70,
provides information with regard 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 for this video product
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 product 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 elec-
tric 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.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into
this video product through any 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

fied technician to restore the video product to its normal
operation.
e. If the video product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the video product exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
