8 Accessories
Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall causing serious injury and serious
damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
equipment. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.
9 Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the equipment and to protect it from
overheating. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Equipment should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register, or in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided. See “BMC9000 Ventilation” in Chapter 2 for more information.
10 Power sources
This product should be operated only from the type of power sources indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supplied to your home, consult your local power company. For equipment intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11 Ground or polarization
This equipment 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.
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 at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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 grounding electrode.
14 Lightning
For added protection for this equipment 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 video product due to
lightning and power line surges.
15 Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines 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 may be fatal.
16 Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
17 Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into this equipment through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts
that could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
18 Servicing
Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards, refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
