mounting of the appliance should follow
the manufacturers instructions and

AMEUBLES- Cet appareil ne doit être placé que sur unmeuble
(avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous
linstallez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux
ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt brusque, lutilisation
dune force excessive et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de
déstabiliser lensemble et de le renverser.
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 manufacturers 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. (Fig. A)
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 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.
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 video product
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 video product 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 video
product.
c. If the video product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the video product 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 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.
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.
