GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - If this
product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one prong wider
than the other), it will fit into the 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 does not fit into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only work in 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.
POWER CORD PROTECTION - Power supply
cords should be protected from being walked on or
being pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
product.
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 Electric Code. ANSI/NFPA70
provides information with regard to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.
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.
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 lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.
OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or integral convenience receptacles
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
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 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.
