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
TV/VCR, 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. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV/VCR 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 TV/VCR 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. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.
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 video product.
18. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR 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 TV/VCR 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 TV/VCR.
c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV/VCR 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 TV/VCR to its normal operation.
e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV/VCR 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
has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or 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 TV/VCR, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in proper operating
condition.
22. Heat-This TV/VCR should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
