9. Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the video product, and to
protect it from overheating. 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 never be placed near
or over a radiator or heat register. 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
supplier or local power company. For video products intended to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
11. Polarization — This product may be 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.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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 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 product due to lightning and
power 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.

product through 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 product.
