Grounding or Polarization: This video
product is equipped with a polar-

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  t, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the polarized plug.
Alternate Warnings: This video prod-
uct is equipped with a three-wire
grounding-type plug, a plug having
a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will only  t into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the grounding type plug.
Overloading: Do not overload wall out-
lets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of  re or electric shock.
Ventilation: Slots and openings in
the cabinet are provided for ventila-
tion, to ensure reliable operation of
the video product and to protect it
from overheating, and these open-
ings must not be blocked or cov-
ered. 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 manu-
facturer’s instructions have been ad-
hered to. This video product should
never be placed near or over a radia-
tor or heat register.

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 pro-
tection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70, provides information
with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, 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 require-
ments for the grounding electrode.
