The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage within the products enclosure that may be
of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and mainte-
nance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
apparatus.
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions should
be read before the apparatus is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should
be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the apparatus and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
5. CLEANING - Unplug this apparatus from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
EXCEPTION: An apparatus that is meant for uninterrupted service and,
that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an
authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged
by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference
to unplugging the apparatus in the cleaning description otherwise
required in item 5.
6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the
apparatus manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this apparatus near water, for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this apparatus on
an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The apparatus may fall, causing serious injury to
someone, and serious damage to the apparatus.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. Any mounting of the apparatus should
follow the manufacturers instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer. An apparatus and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the apparatus and cart combination to overturn.
9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or
bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the apparatus and to protect it from overheating, these openings must
not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the apparatus on a bed, sofa, carpet, rug, or other similar surface.
This apparatus should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register. This apparatus should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturers instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES - This apparatus should be operated only 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 apparatus dealer
or local power company. For the apparatuss intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This apparatus is 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
apparatus.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the apparatus, 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 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 antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this apparatus receiver 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 apparatus 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 other electric light of 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.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into this
apparatus 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 apparatus.
18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this apparatus yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this apparatus from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the apparatus.
c. If the apparatus has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the apparatus does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the apparatus to its normal operation.
e. If the apparatus has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the apparatus exhibits a distinct change in performance, this
indicates a need for service.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
apparatus, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the apparatus is in proper operating condition.
22. HEAT - This apparatus should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
The caution marking is located on the rear or bottom of the cabinet.
