9. Ventilation - Openings in the enclosure, if any, are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the unit and to protect
it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's
instructions have been adhered to.
10. Power Sources - This unit 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 you plan to use, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For units intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. Grounding or Polarization - This unit 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.
Alternately, this unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit
into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the grounding-type 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 and
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
13. Power Lines - An outdoor 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 outdoor system, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal. U.S.A. models only - refer to the National Electrical
Code Article 820 regarding installation of CATV systems.
14. Overloading - Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
15. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
unit 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 unit.
16. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug the unit from the 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 unit.
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the unit 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 unit to its normal
operation.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance--this
indicates a need for service.
18. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other
hazards.
19. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
20. Coax Grounding - If an outside cable system is connected to the
unit, be sure the cable system is grounded. U.S.A. models only--
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-
1981, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the
mount and supporting structure, grounding of the coax to a
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
21. Lightning - For added protection of this unit 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 cable
