5 cleaning - Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
6 attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7 water and moisture - Do not use this 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 product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to
a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer,
or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow
the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
9
A product and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10 ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the 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
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This 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.
11 power Sources - This 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 product dealer or
local power company.
The primary method of isolating the amplifier from the mains supply
is to disconnect the mains plug. Ensure that the mains plug remains
accessible at all times. Unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if
the unit will not be used for several months or more.
12 grounding or 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.
13 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 product.
14 outdoor antenna grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the 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 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.
note to catv SYStem inStaller
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Section
820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
15 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-line surges.
16 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.
17 overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
18 object and liquid entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
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.
warning: the apparatuS Should not be expoSed to
dripping or SplaShing, and objectS filled with liquidS,
Such aS vaSeS, Should not be placed on the apparatuS.
