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 operation instructions.
12. GROUNDING or POLARIZATION---This product 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.
Alternate Warnings---This product is equipped with a three-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.
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 on or against them, paying particular 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 connected to the product, 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 No. 70,
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
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure 1.
15. 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.
16. 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 such power circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.
17. OVERLOADING---Do not overload wall outlets, extension cord,
or intergated convenience receptacles as this can result in a
risk of the electric shock.
18. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY---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 line or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
19. 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.
