IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
19. 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 installation,
consult your product dealer or local power company.
20. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. It is recom-
mended that appliances be placed upon a dedicated
circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only
that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch
circuits. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall
outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or dam-
aged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in fire or electric shock.
21. Power Cord
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if
its appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from
physical or mechanical abuse, such as twisting, kink-
ing, or pinching.
22. Outdoor Use/Wet Location
Warning: To prevent fire or electrical shock
hazards, do not expose this product to
rain, moisture, or other liquids.
Do not touch the product with wet hands. Do not install
this product near flammable objects such as gasoline or
candles or expose it to direct air conditioning. Do not
expose the product to dripping or splashing, and do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or
over the apparatus (e.g., on shelves above the unit).
23. Grounding
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent
possible electric shock (i.e., a TV with a three-prong
grounded AC plug must be connected to a three-prong
grounded AC outlet). If grounding methods are not possi-
ble, have a qualified electrician install a separate circuit
breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to
telephone wires, lightning rods, or gas pipes.
24. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits or where it can come into con-
tact with such power lines or circuits as death or seri-
ous injury can occur.
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 (NEC) (in
the U.S.A.) 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 elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
25. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer ser-
vicing to qualified service personnel under the follow-
ing conditions:
a. If the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the product.
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the product does not operate normally per 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 product to its
normal operation.
e. If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet has
been damaged.
f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance.
g. If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the
product or hear strange sounds.
26. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the ser-
vice technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
27. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
28. Sunlight
Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
