Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
Cleaning - Unplug this video product from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product 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 appliance in the cleaning description
otherwise required in item 5.
Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended
by the video product manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
Water and Moisture- Do not use this video product 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.
Accessories - Do not place this video product on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The video
product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the video product. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
_0RTABLE CART WARNIt';G
manufacturer's instructions and should
(Symbolpf /RETAC)
use a mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer. An appliance and
cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn,
s3_2_A
Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of
the video 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 video
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation
is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been

operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization - This video product is
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug

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.
Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should

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.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the video 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 No. 70, provides information with regard to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the leadqn 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)
