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 cov-
ered. 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 book-
case 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. For products intended
to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
12. Line-Cord Polarization
This product is equipped with a polarized alter-
nating-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 fea-
ture. 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 partic-
ular 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 connect-
ed to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protec-
tion against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code (U.S.A), ANSI/NFPA 70 provides informa-
tion 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-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See figure on next page.
15. Lightning
For added protection for this product (receiver)
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-
tended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent dam-
age to the product due to lightning and power-
line surges.
