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 the appliance from the wall outlet before

cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recom-

mended by the manufacturer.

6. Attachments Do not use attachments not recommended by

the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture Do not use the appliance 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 the appliance on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance 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 appliance.

Any mounting of the appliance

should follow the manufacturer's

instructions, and should use a

mounting

accessory

recom-

mended by the manufacturer.

9. An appliance and cart combina-

tion should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the

appliance and cart combination

to overturn.

10. Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided

for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance

and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not

be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked

by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar

surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in instal-

lation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is

provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.)

and an opening behind the appliance.

11. Power Sources The appliance 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.

12. Grounding or Polarization The appliance 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 pur-

pose 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 appliance.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the appliance, 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 in-

formation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-

tenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

15. Lightning For added protection for the appliance during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for

long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-

nect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to

the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be lo-

cated 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 the appliance through openings as they may touch danger-

ous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire

or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appli-

ance.

19. Servicing Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser-

vice personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service Unplug the appliance form 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

appliance,

C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,

D. If the appliance 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 appliance to its normal operation,

E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,

and

F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor-

mance this indicates a need for service.
