14.Replacement Parts – When replacement parts  
are required, be sure the service technician has used  
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have  
the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized  
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other  
hazards.  
6. Power Sources This product should be operated  
only from the type of power source indicated on the  
product. If you are not sure of the type of power supply  
to your home, consult your product dealer or local power  
company.  
7.  
Polarization – This product may  
CAUTION  
15.Safety Check – Upon completion of any service  
or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to  
perform safety checks to determine that the product is  
in proper operating condition.  
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.  
16.Wall or Ceiling Mounting – This product should  
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended  
by the manufacturer.  
17.Heat – This product should be situated away from  
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,  
or other products that produce heat. Do not place a  
flaming object, such as a candle or lantern, or near the  
product.  
8. 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 product.  
18.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.  
9. 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.  
19.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 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.  
10.Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets,  
extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as  
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
11.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.  
12.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.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER  
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
13.Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product  
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,  
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen  
into the product,
