The caution marking is located on the rear of the cabinet.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
1. Read instructions-All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
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. (Fig. A)
Antenna ground diagram.
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.
