excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10 Ventilation Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila-
tion and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in in-
stallation such as bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
11 Power Sources This product 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 supplied to your home, consult your product dealer or local
power company. For products intended to operate from battery power,
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12 Grounding or Polarization This product may be equipped with a po-
larized 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 elec-
trician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug. Alternate Warnings – If this product is equipped
with a three-wire grounding- type plug, a plug having a third (grounding)
pin, the plug will only fit into 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.
13 Mise à la terre ou Polarisation Cet appareil est équipé avec un cordon
d'alimentation à trois fils. Il est a brancher sur une prise ayant un con-
necteur a la terre. Assurez-vous que la connection a la terre ne manque
pas.
14 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.
15 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.
16 Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines, other electric light or power circuits,
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.
17 Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
18 Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into this prod-
uct 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.
19 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.
20 Damage Requiring Service Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following condi-
tions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operat-
ing instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions
as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the
product to its normal operation, e. If the product has been dropped or
damaged in any way, and f. When the product exhibits a distinct change
in performance—this indicates a need for service.
21 Replacement Parts When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufac-
turer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
