sure of your home's power type, consult your
product dealer or local power company.
Polarization - This product is equipped with a polarized AC line
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the

insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't
fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. If you need an extension, use a
polarized cord.
Power-Cord Protection - Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to

where they exit from the product.
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.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
integral convenience receptacles, as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids - 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.
Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring - Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer
Service servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
- When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
- If liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the product.
- If the product has been exposed to rain or
water.
- If the product does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the

Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer of having the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.

product, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the product is in
proper operating condition.
Wall or Ceiling Mount - The product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
Heat - The product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
Outdoor Antenna - If an outside antenna or cable system is
Grounding connected to the video product, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with respect 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
antennas discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See the example on the next page.
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 or
approaching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal. Installing an
outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be
left to a professional antenna installer.
