Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the equipment and in the operating instrucions should be adhered to. Follow Instructions-All instructions for operating and use should be fol- lowed.Water and Moisture-The equipment should not be used near water-- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. Carts and Stands-The equipment should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by Akai. Wall or Ceiling Mounting-Akai does not recommend mounting the equipment on a wall or a ceiling. Ventilation-The equipment should b-‚¬ situated so that its location or po- sition does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the equipment should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openingsi or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow ofair through the ventilation openings. Heat-The equipment should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other equipment that produces heat.Power Sources-The equipment should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the equipment. Grounding or Polarization-Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means ofthe equipment is not defeated. 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 equipment. Cleaning-The equipment should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. Power lines-An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.Outdoor Antenna Grounding-Ifan outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70-1981, provides in- formation with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding ofthe lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements lor the grounding eleatrode. See Figure 1. Nonuse Periods-The power cord ofthe equipment should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period oftime. Object and Liquid Entry-Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
